On sites where I have to reveal my real name and can't hide my profile, I am now using a Unicode obfuscator to make my name difficult to find for search engines. Also, I have now started using a username generator so nobody can trace my username from site to site. Because I'm using a password manager, this is rather easy to do.

@thor but what if fwiends are trying to find you

@Igeljaeger Are they really your friends if they need a search engine to find you?

@thor mmmh well maybe not "real friends" but I do podcasts for example and like it when people find me through that on social media

@Igeljaeger If you want to be found under your true identity, you can't really maintain privacy. It's best to use a pseudonym. I was too much of a publicity whore during my 20s to care about hiding my identity. I'm still working to erase all the footprints I left.
