Reddit didn't require any personally identifying information to make an account. Not even an email address. That's my point. Anything more than a username and password is a no-go for me. Spez et. al. can spez his little balls off, there was no real way to tie it to me without a battalion of highly trained autists by taking a few precautions including some basic opsec.
Yeah, I shouldn't have used the word "complete". That is a fallacy.
You can make it difficult for casual observers to figure out who you are, that's my goal. If I were paranoid about anonymity, I'd be running a Tails stick in a cheap refurb "burner" laptop sans hard drive with my favorite VPN set for two extra hops on a public wi-fi.
That's about as close to anonymous as humanly possible for most people.
Yup. Any platform that doesn't allow complete anonymity by default is bad news.
Spez edited user comments in reddit.
Uh-huh.

There is NO anonymity on the Internet. That is the biggest self-delusion that so many people kid themselves with today.
