I have, and he's right

also, learn not to overexpose yourself with your real id online, also from 1990s internet 101

the idiotic model of the 2020s with everybody posting their entire private lives with their real names and profiles that have their mugs in circles, and then proceed to broadcast hot takes they're afraid to get feedback on - it doesn't work and it's stupid

I'm not convinced the "solution" to abuse is to remain completely anonymous online.

It's not just a solution to abuse, but also protection from nasty governments and good infosec

Seems a bit paranoid for one thing.

Also, it's unfair and cruel to put the responsibility for preventing abuse onto the abused. The person engaging in dysfunctional behavior is the problem, not their victims.

Sure, you can avoid being bullied by staying hidden all the time, and I guess that works for some people but it doesn't sit well with me.
