Here's my question, and it is the question everyone should ask themselves when thinking about privacy.
Private from who? What is your threat model? Who is or could be targeting you? What are info are they targeting?
I don't expect answers but this is how I think about privacy. If my threat model involves nation state actors I can tell you I would not be using SN at all. I don't know the codebase of SN but if I wanted my comments to never be connected to my account... I would not use the site. I could never be sure that my comments were not preserved by someone and if my nym account was ever connected to my real life identity that I'd be safe.
These are very personal questions. Not everyone thinks about them. Many are new to the idea of online privacy and security. I don't see threat modeling and tradeoffs talked about enough. You are probably doing it right for you. I won't try to get in your head. I have no skin in the game.

Please don't take this the wrong way but if you truly mean what you say. Protect from all then you should not use SN at all. I don't think you actually mean from all though. This goes back to my thesis that "the Internet is forever". I think that is the safest mindset to have when using the web. As soon as I visit a site I'm trusting the code, and the devs on that site. It is still my choice what to entrust them with but they already know some things about me. I can obfuscate it but when I start posting content and I authenticate we are on a new level of trust.
Just be careful. Not sure what as at risk for you. Maybe you know all this stuff. You probably do.

Like I said, I don't live in your shoes. I get what you are saying. Do what you think you need to do.
