The author of the 2008 Bitcoin whitepaper was identified through textual analysis of his writing. JK Rowling was also identified as the author of a pseudonymously published novel using the same methods.

One important step towards real anonymity would to completely anonymize your writing style. Make sure the distribution of stop words in your writing is absolutely banal. Make sure to not use your favorite expressions, that can be found in your previous writing. Etc. Algorithmically measure your style before posting, and make sure it is non-identifiable.
