It’s one thing to mock it on pseudonymous platforms like Reddit and the fediverse.

It’s another to do it somewhere linked to your real name and job like LinkedIn.

People really hate insurance companies.

    You think having a fake online name will stop them from finding out who you are? Did you even pay attention to the Snowden leaks?

    It is almost never a question of whether it's possible or not. You WILL make a mistake. It's just a question of how much effort you're worth as an individual.

    LinkedIn is one of the least sane social media sites I've ever had the displeasure of using. Under all the marketing BS and obviously fake feel good stories lie takes that would make your insane Facebook uncle blush.

    I used to work for a big data company that tracked shares to various social networks and the frequency with which people share porn to LinkedIn was remarkably high.

    People are too hung up about anonimity on the internet. When one of my country's worst journalistic shitrags mandated a real name policy due to the rampant racism and other -isms in the comment section of their articles... nothing changed. People are happily spewing the same vile rethoric as before and proud to, instead of being shamed into silence.
