I normally use twitch but with fb mixer news I decided to take a look into fb gaming. I was able to create a page named "namrog84" and then comment on someone's stream and all they saw was namrog84.

I'm sure it might be possible to figure out which facebook real name made and owns that page. But at face value I was able to stream and comment under my alternate persona. namrog84. Without having to make a new Facebook account. They have a drop down in streamer chat if you want to use your real name or a name of a page.

With that said, I'm very hesitant of fb gaming streaming and this is my first ever time really looking at it.



Pseudonyms only work if you trust your cover won't be blown in a way that compromises your investment/safety. Is Facebook trustworthy enough for that?
