I don't your name, pc86, is a real name, too. That's the life of them internet. So much about Pseudonym. So if already the very first statement is that questionable, how can I believe the rest you write had any truth?
That this may or may not pseudonymous is mostly a coincidence. I've talked about current (at the time) and past employers, I've posted my emails in comments and my profile before, my LinkedIn, used my first and last name separately, etc. This is not an anonymous profile by virtue of any effort on my part. I think just about every account - including my discord - is associated with my real identity and uses my real name.
The GP seems to use similar naming conventions for all their accounts. GitHub, HN, Twitter, are all "lhecker." It's a pretty standard naming convention - I'm pcopley on a ton of services. So I can see how it could raise an eyebrow when you get an aberration of that norm or habit or brand or whatever you want to call it. The simple (and honestly maybe even likely) explanation is just "it's not an anonymous account I just have a different username on discord." But if you're inclined to pick up a pitch fork every now and then it's easy to take that as some sort of nefarious act.
Besides what pc86 wrote: there’s a difference between ‘not a real name’ and ‘a fake name’. A dog is not a fake cat. Being a fake entails pretending to be the real thing, which ‘pc86’ - as should hopefully go without saying - is not.
