Liked the write-up was a fun read.
But I really don't get the point of being anonymous on social media.

Random opinion today that’s normal completely socially acceptable thing to say, might tomorrow be proof you’re criminal; for example, a country that’s had significant power shift and outlawed a something that before was legal.
Or you’re living in a country that’s you object to actions that have been taken, for example, invasion of another country, and publicly stating objections is a crime.
This is also a lot harder than it seems, once you start lying it's easy to slip up or provide details that are aren't self consistent. As long as you rely on people just accepting the answer and being immediately satisfied with that it'll work.
Inb4 "oh hey I'm also from <town suburb name you lied being from>, remember that one thing?".
But, assuming I wanted a fake background that would pass casual scrutiny, I'd make something up that was close enough to the truth but not close enough that anyone would think anything was off if we got to casual chatting. I'd probably say I was from and/or lived in some city I knew extremely well but had never actually lived in. Maybe say I got an undergrad degree from somewhere I got a grad degree. Etc.
