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 emphatically wont protect you from the feds. Probably not even a reasonably savvy 4chan sleuth. There is off the shelf software for comparing writing styles that can match posters with near perfect accuracy for anyone who posts enough.

        Google “stylometry”

        A lot of the off the shelf stuff is designed to detect plagiarism for universities, but can do other things too. JK Rowling was writing under a pen name but was discovered by someone using a free program called the “Java Graphical Authorship Attribution Program”

      off the shelf software? I have no doubt secret business and government software can do it but lets see the off the shelf solutions.

        The field is called stylometry, a quick google search will show many options, but JGAAP is one of the free ones.
