I am so grateful for already having been paranoid about sharing anything identifying about me starting 15+ years ago.
I never uploaded a picture of myself. Never used my real name anywhere. I used different nicks for different branches of the Internet. A plethora of different email addresses etc.
People thought I was being overly careful and I probably missed a lot of things due to not using Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat but I can't say I regretted it at any point.
It's not enough. You should use a different writing style for each website you write on.
