I don’t think Fedi forum was her job, but maybe it is?

I strongly disagree with it generally being dumb to (unanonymously) raise your voice on a topic that might cause you problems in the future. It’s a consideration of priorities and going “this is my name and I stand up for xy” (maybe by a coworker even) is usually more impactful than some anon accounts or persona. Of course it might impact your career or whatever, but for some people it’s worth the potential consequences.

I too use (semi) anonymous accounts for different things, but I don’t go “neutral” at work or anywhere really. Most political organizations won’t work with only anons (Anonymous is an exception). Saying using your real name for “controversial” politics stuff is dumb? Hard no.

Also, which topics are controversial and which aren’t is always subject to change. Maybe she lives somewhere where transphobic positions will help her? She’s rightfully gone from this position and I wish transphobia would be a unacceptable everywhere but it isn’t and she might find other people/orgs/position where it’s a benefit even.

Good to know, thanks!

Sorry, English is not my first language, bit I thought the post is somewhat clear?

I didn’t forget a word, maybe a comma - in the given context, the meaning is “Would you keep your opinion for yourself if it’s something you care about?” as the post I replied to suggested exactly that.

Would you if it’s something you care about and want to be vocal about? I’d rather know that she’s full of shit and now out of the whole thing than supporting someone who spews against trans people on a secret identity.
