I also think people should stop caring about their online identities at all.
It's not real life so if you need to leave social media it should be psychologically easy.
So many Redditors, Tiktokers, Instagramers etc. probably don't want to have to start "over" on another platform.
While being mobile with your identity is probably a good thing, I believe people should also learn to let it go.
People care about their identity on Reddit? I always used it as a sort-of anonymous forum, except with usernames, less likelihood to get told rancid things than on a truly anonymous platform with no accounts to ban, and if you were reading some original stories on Reddit you could recognize the author's name.
Instagram was something I used under my real name to keep up with real life friends, so yeah I care about my identity there, but I'm aware some people use it less as a real life social media and more as a content platform.
Turned up my nose at TikTok, which has proven to be the correct option for online approval years after I made the decision to ignore it.
