Can you say more? That doesn’t seem to be a situation with burner accounts, but maybe you’re saying that Kurt trying to be anonymous would have gone more or less well?
I’m inferring that the kind of reasons Kurt had for not talking about this as much (in, say, earshot of me) before now are the exact same kind of reasons people are overall intimidated / feel it’s too scary to not use burner accounts for things.
Thanks! Though, I think it’s common that people think burner accounts give them more protection than they actually do, unless combined with something like running through an LLM for restyling. More: Linking Alt Accounts.
