There are many reasons for us for consciously creating multiple, fake, anonymous or pseudonymous identities online (without becoming the petty tyrants we fight):

  • Engaging in the present with no need for past or future references.
  • Being who you are naturally and freeing your speech.
  • Dreaming another you into being for gaming, hobbies, (online) roleplay, trolling the trolls, defense from mass surveillance, confusing surveillance, etc. in a way that it doesn’t automatically become a part of your finger- and footprint.
  • Being more resilient online.
  • Career actualisation, increased individuality, autonomy and freedom by separating professional and private information.
  • Exploring abandonment of being, and gaining recognition on how your "usual identity" can be a trap.
  • Challenging yourself and engaging at the edge.
  • Feeding (r)evolution and self-authority.

Love it or hate it, the Anonymous mask has morphed under many guises. Starting life as the face of an audacious revolutionary, it has become a political disguise turned corporate nightmare. But it’s future as a potent image remains in the balance. [1]
