Thinking about using my real name for social media, including this account. Because I'm starting a public project, with my real face, and videos, and hardware, and don't want the mental overhead of hiding behind a pseudonym and vetting every post for identifying info. (May be related to my trace amounts of autism, lying or anything like it is extremely taxing. Not that I think pseudonyms are wrong, just that they require juggling multiple identities, similar to managing multiple realities when one has decided to lie about something).

But, I'm also a privacy advocate and use a de-googled phone, encrypted email, VPN, etc. So it's against my knee-jerk tendency to maximize privacy.

Good idea or not?

You can always make another nym

Ask yourself these 2 questions first:

1. Is there anything you've posted under the nym that you don't want associated with your real name?

2. Is your current account’s network strong enough to be worth keeping, rather than starting fresh under your real name?
