This only makes sense if your account contains personally identifiable information. If it doesn’t, then what can really happen?

It’s not that hard to identify people online. My account is definitely not private

You could still be identified by a lot of factors and the combination of those. IP address, email if provided, cookies + referrer on clicked links or loaded external images, browser fingerprint, clues from actual content in comments and posts, … It’s not that hard, a whole industry lives on this kind of surveillance data collection.
