you should also always assume a sufficiently willing person can find your identity, don’t post anything sensitive online, don’t post anything that would encourage those with resources to find your identity, and if you’re e.g. a politician then only post online to explicitly non-anonymous accounts. If you have a protected identity/location/that stuff, just don’t post online at all.
Except the ability to register an account without any personal details. Which makes it completely private if you want.
anonymous, not private. the two ideas are not the same.
