Public personal dev accounts: opinions? (self.programming)

I feel like there are many devs out there who expose a lot of personal details and opinions all over the web. Maybe it's just me, but when starting out with the internet I tried my best to separate my personal details (name, age, sex, country, ethnicity, family ties, relationship status,...) from usernames in public.

Seeing devs do it willingly and voice opinions on divisive or sensitive topics kind of messes with me. Aren't y'all afraid of missing out on job opportunities if someone reads your opinions, code, or other stuff tied to your personal accounts? Or letting anybody (maybe family, friends, acquaintances, ...) in on your personal life, mindset, opinions and other personal information?

Is it gatekeeping if they voice their disapproval? Is any form of disapproval gatekeeping? Where is the line?

They didn't ask them to stop posting or participating. Wouldn't that be the line where it crosses to gatekeeping?

They asked them not to attach the CC notice. It didn't address their content.
