Ok, I'll let you know this one. On EDF3, I did try to completely be anonymous and tried to not be the same user as I am now. Do you know how that worked out for me? Not very well.
I tried everything I could think of and, of course, I was still hacked and it didn't make a difference. They knew exactly who I was. And then came the very implicit threat.
That is the reason that I don't even try to hide who I am. There's no reason. My devices are hacked. I can try whatever I want. I can try to change my name and move somewhere else, start a new life and everything. It won't matter. Once they find you, you are found. There is no "new beginning".
So at this point, what does it even matter? That is an honest question.
