See: <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1855>

Did I miss anything? I couldn't find any rule there that one should only
post using a real name. Only for real time communication the *opposite*
is true:

"If a user is using a nickname alias or pseudonym, respect that
user's desire for anonymity.  Even if you and that person are
close friends, it is more courteous to use his nickname.  Do
not use that person's real name online without permission."

I know at least the German Netiquette based of RFC1855 with some
additions in 1997 tells the people they should always use their real
name - but when this text was first published 23 years(!) ago when the
internet was way different compared to today. Even if you see the last
edit to fix typos etc. as the latest relevant update - this was 2006,
which is also already 14 years ago. At that time companies like Facebook
or Google were not that powerful as they are today. Asking people today
to provide there full real name in public media to show their
"politeness" should be considered evil.

BTW: at least in Germany a provider *must* allow the users to use a
nickname in public communication channels, even if you are required to
register with your real identiy.

I post using my real name - but this is solely my own decision as I am
willing to accept the potential risks involved and I would never
recommend anyone to do the same just because there is a 23 year old
"recommendation" to do so.
