I guess a better question then - when is the juice worth the squeeze?
Like, I’m sure that government agencies have an interest in tracking who is making what comments pseudonymously online, but it would take a lot of effort, computers, money, energy, etc to constantly scan and store information for everyone, right?
Which is where we get into different levels of security - I’m going to try harder to hide my identity if I were to pirate a movie vs browsing Wikipedia.
I guess the question is: who is motivated to collect what information, and what needs to be done to make that identifying information useless for them to connect the dots?
Although, what are the odds someone goes to the length to match writing style and personal details that you let slip while using a pseudonymous account against an online presence where you are identifiable?

I have an idea for a building decarbonization co-op enterprise that I’m really excited about, but it’s difficult for a few reasons: lack of time outside of work to develop the business plans, lack of connection to others to build with, and lack of financial capital to get off the ground. I’m not opposed to putting in the effort to try fixing those, but they are all significant challenges.

Yep, sounds like I’m the odd one out then. Although Lemmy is far from my only source of news and information
Maybe I’m the one that’s out of the loop, but I’d consider myself fairly informed and on the left, and I only think I’ve heard him speak once or twice. I don’t watch any streams though, so it could just be that I’m not part of that community
