MODERATORS
Depends who you're trying to avoid.
Some downvote brigade on Lemmy? sure.
One of the major databrokers? Probably not.
Google and Meta and such don't even need you to have an account to build accurate profiles and track you everywhere, so making a new Google account will almost certainly not buy you any real privacy: Google will just add your new account to your profile and keep right on selling your shit.
This is exactly why I used a pseudonym from the outset.
From what I understand it doesn’t matter, that’s just a label they assign to all the data they have about you. Attaching all of that to your real name is trivial once they have the profile.
Exactly, that's why anything I do with my real name is on my wholly separate profile / device / email.
It's a boring computer that has my real name on it.
