But don't you see how a user could in one instance do an AMA as a Pizza Hut manager and then in another post talk about witnessing a tornado in Tulsa, OK? Add one or two off the cuff comments about his 'IRL' experiences and you could have a pretty good idea of who this person is or at least what area they live in.
By showing a complete history of a person's activity you are discouraging people from sharing relevant and/or interesting stuff with the world. I am completely shocked that Voat users are against privacy.

This comes across as a fallacy. We are not against privacy. But we are against abuse that would restrict transparency of this website normally required to counter trolls, spammers and other kinds of evil.
If you want that kind of privacy, you already have the option to use a different account. It's your own responsibility to protect your own details, you know, if you intend to post things that may reveal personal information about you. You're already as anonymous as you want to make yourself.

Absolutely.
