I think in public a whole bunch - on my blog, on Mastodon (previously on Twitter) and mostly in thousands of issues and issue comments in my public GitHub repos.

No cons at all so far. No one cares enough to actually read and pay attention to all of that stuff, at least not enough to get angry or mean about it!

Every now and then someone will reply with a useful clue or hint, which is the biggest pro.

I'm in a privileged position: I'm not part of a group that gets discriminated against, and I don't tend to attract the attention of trolls or nazis.

I tend to live by the classic Howard Aiken quite: "Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats."
