but comments on the internet are largely anonymous, and an IP address does not determine identity for an individual (though it’s probably suspicious as heck)

Oh these websites target public comments lol.

Social media with your real name, protests, speeches, literally any statement of any kind.

So yeah, you can be safe by easily just using a username. But anyone with any major position, especially people in academia, can’t really pretend to be a PHD without showing their creds.

Students and professors show up to public IRL events and then get pasted onto these crappy sites lol
