Keep in mind that having a "false identity" does not make you a malicious actor. I have a serious project I work on under another pseudonym, but it has to do more with the fact that I do not want my real name to be associated with that project AND having a serious case of impostor syndrome. :/

That, and I used to contribute to various games (forks of ioquake3) when I was a teen and I wanted to keep my real name private.

Someone named "John is good" claims they aren't a malicious actor... You're trying real hard to convince us, huh.

Oh yeah, I am using a pseudonym here as well, because I have controversial views in some topics. :P
