      It does, especially on foreign instances since they (supposedly) can’t see the IP addresses

      But I think a balance is necessary. Some people will NEED privacy if they want to talk about things that they could get in trouble for (with work, school, or an authoritarian government). I had alts for lots of stuff on Reddit, like if I had a medical issue that was identifiable, or if I wanted to share some creative work I did. Others might need it to talk about their views on religion, their sexuality, or about friends/family.
