View submission: Are you *really* anonymous here?
If someone read all of most posts on a variety of Subs, you could probably identify me. That said, I don't really care and I am not saying anything that most of my friends/family don't already know about me.

Yeah I think there's a difference between "if they just read my posts could they guess it's me" and "can you pick this user out of millions of users". It would be hard to people to identify me even with searches but if they read a lot of posts they could probably guess it's me with about 80% certainty. They'd get really bored in the meantime, though, and wouldn't find much to use against me!

Same here. I have a second account for anything embarrassing or revealing, which I've used maybe twice. My main account reveals nothing beyond how boring I am.

Doesn’t matter, I’d say it to their face. I broke my filter a very long time ago.

Likewise, but the only people who could would be real-life friends who share my interests. I'm not to worried about fellow birdwatchers or Disworld fans, to tell the truth.

Exactly, and I'm old enough that my give a fuck is broken.

I identified my daughter when I read a post that only she could have written.
