Interesting. I suspect there’s a crux there about “in most cases” and “nobody cares” on what timeframe and scale. You’re probably right that people would be mad at you, but a lot of people would probably appreciate it as well. I also think there are likely cruxes about identity and reputation that put us on different sides of the “pseudonymity for participants is a desirable feature of public discussions”.
This is a fabulous test case for intuitions about when it’s OK to lie or omit truths that are accessible and sharable. Also a good callback to all the discussions about extortion and whether you’re performing a compensation-worthy service by protecting someone from public knowledge of truth they’re ashamed of.
