I am more worried about some dedicated reddit, or 4chan user getting angry than the feds. I'm weird with this because when I write posts I wait 2 minutes, and think how would feds interpret my posts, and is it worth posting that.

I will most likely make a mistake with my anonymity one day, but to have alts increase anonymity wouldn't you have to be good at changing your writing style?

    It does seem a little like kayfabe, like the feds monitoring this thread know exactly who we are and where we live right? Like does it really matter for them if you change your handle?

    I can maybe see it for getting doxxed by some chud, but I rarely see anyone even mention their job or the city they live in much less actual identifying info, feels pretty unlikely to me :shrug-outta-hecks:

      Any homebrew software like this one can easily be hacked by pros and the admins would never even know they were there.

      My understanding is this kind of opsec is basically entirely to avoid random 4chan/kiwifarm psychos. You're right that the feds can 100 percent find out who you are easily if they want to if they don't already know. Don't have a firm opinion on how likely it is for the former group to actually try to fuck with you though, (blessedly) don't have direct experience there.
