This may not work. As of a month ago, someone put out a product demonstrating that alters can be easily connected to accounts of the same author.

Link?

I suppose at some point someone will develop some kind of program to make vocabulary/phrasing suggestions to mute the effectiveness of such a thing.



You only need plausible deniability.


Alters can be easily connected, but having separate accounts like parent described can be useful nonetheless. For example, one well-known Rust developer has a day Twitter and a night Twitter which is good, because many are probably interested in one, but not the other. Generally, cramming too different kind of content into one account can be equally detrimental for the writer and the readers.


My impression was that it wasn’t very accurate.


I remember seeing a throwaway hn account stating it was used by multiple people.

Could help, as long as you trust each other.
