I wondered about the question and admiration of an ability to hide well.

I wonder about all this hiding due too a general lack of communication.

Magnus,
As I have mentioned before, if one has connections with any of several thousand large organizations (government, corporate, university) and if one's true opinions were known, one could expect:
  1. to be fired.
  2. a knife in the back.
  3. suspension at the very least.

If one is employed at a good job in a corrupt organization, one is well-advised to either remain silent or to conceal his or her identity.

For example, I would not want it generally known that I am actually a female Martian, because there is discrimination . . . :-)

And then it becomes a trend, hide or be uncool?

Of course I could be mistaken, Magnus, but I think prudence has much more to do with issue of "hiding" than does "coolness."

I admire those who reveal their identities, but I also recognize that because of this fact they must self-censor their postings or possibly suffer severe consequences.
