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?
