You mean the reporters? I wondered about that, but then realized that the guy tended to use the same online nickname on various sites. Searching the web for that nickname probably turned up a bunch of his accounts and then they could read the comments to determine if they were likely the same person. Pretty good reporting, I thought.
Ah, good reason to always make new usernames for each site/service that is signed up for. 😉
Yes, definitely a good privacy and security practice. Different passwords is important too. Different email addresses as well, if possible. There are services like simplelogin and anonaddy that make the email part simple.
Yes, the email I use has that built in, though if I can I don't use email for an account, like on Lemmy (which is how it should be everywhere in my opinion, just a username and password). All my passwords are different too!
100% guarantee that he also had a Steam account and wore pants at some point in his life.

Our very first terrorist. We're going places boyos. Just hope this doesn't bring like minded people here, especially since reddit banned that sub, and Lemmy's is still up.
We're still so young, we haven't even killed anyone yet.
quick edit: I do have suggestions tho
I love how quickly lemmy.world speed ran the aesthetically lib to fash redditor pipeline problem without even a profit motive behind them.
I mean lemmy.world aims to be Reddit 2, and reddit had jailbait, fatpeoplehate, the_donald, keeps Gamergate subreddits open, r/conspiracy, and so many more horrid things kept up because it made more clicks.
So why wouldn't lemmy.world keep an active terrorist on board? Think of the potential money to be made.

Fucking wild that Lemmy made it on mainstream news.. of course it had to be some stormfrontian to get it to that stage..
If I had to choose between a bomber and something like r/jailbait (which was the medias first big look at reddit) as the sites big first exposure to the world, I'm going for the bomber every time.
Preemptively bombing a fertility clinic as a last resort.
