There are... levels.

At the very least I would expect to be able to be "pseudonymous", which is to
say, some servers can collude and share information and realize Swordhorse at
cutehorses.com is the same Swordhorse at swordforums.es. Except nowadays
Google and other dark powers from beyond time can get a "selector" (phone
numbers, for example) which can be used to identify a user in particular.

So not only can they know that Swordhorse is actually Monty oberts, but also
which people Monty Roberts is friends with and on which places.

Which is the reason giving "selectors" away to services that don't need them
at all freaks me out and I want to strangle people who thinks it is ok to do
it.
