Most people should not treat fake bios and poisoned search results as their main privacy play. Pseudonyms and compartmentalization usually beat spraying lies; targeted decoys are a different tool entirely.

    In the sense that I don’t know who I am, I leave red herrings which are me like when I was like when I thought I would be like that, but then wasn’t.

    But I don’t do it on purpose, I genuinely believe it. Which is why anyone looking to distinguish it from reality won’t be able to tell, because I can’t either.
