Putting your real name and face on the internet has always been a mistake

Not necessarily.

Something like Facebook is still useful for keeping in touch with extended family and social circles. I may not particularly care about great uncle John, but it's nice to be aware that he's in the hospital after a bad fall without that information going through 5 rounds of the telephone game.

Somewhere like Reddit or the fediverse? I would never want my real identity associated with these accounts. It's nice to have some anonymity.

Facebook in specific? Sure.

But the idea of platform meant for keeping in loose direct contact with your extended family and social group? That has merit.
