Within this community? Virtually none.
There is a difference between pseudonymity and anonymity. I may not attach my real name to posts here, but I would be deluding myself to think I could disregard external social pressures from within the communities where this handle is used. True anonymity is a very different beast.
Thanks for the info. Have you tried writing with throw-away handles? Do you find you think differently under those circumstances?
I've used throwaway handles to argue for views that I'm not convinced of, both to shake myself out of consistency pressures/confirmation bias and to elicit good criticism. I find that the latter is particularly helpful.
