Thank you for your suggestions and suggested reads. Though I think the incentive to de-anonymise or get into stylometry is there only if the post has a larger impact on an organisation or individual. Most of the post on Vigyaa.io are personal in nature. I don't see why anyone will make the effort to figure out who has written it. The whole obfuscation is necesarry if one is blowing the whistle on someone or is posting something offensive. In either case the author will make their own effort to not let their writing style reveal themselves.

Would love to hear your prospective further.

Agreed -- I don't think personal posts need the anonymization as much as perhaps political discussions in oppressive regimes (at which point getting the technical security stack right seems higher ROI than worrying about de-anonymization).
