You can't be serious.

One of the "powermods" of Reddit was a gay Iranian teenager in London whose parents were staunch proponents of Sharia law. He lived in daily fear that his online life would end up exposed to his community, that firmly believed those expressing his views should be stoned to death. He vanished abruptly in 2011. I hope he's okay.

We had people on Hubski who were implicated and sought by the FBI for being members of Lulzsec.

You yourself turned me onto Brock Meeks over 20 years ago, back when his circle of troublemakers included Julian Assange.

Yet you're leaning into if a pseudonym isn't good enough maybe you should shut up?
