I feel like that applies to legal documents; when I signed my NDA with Fandom, I had to use my legal name, but I am more than allowed to use whatever name I fancy while on Fandom, or the internet in general. There are no legal ramifications for using a different name, it's no different than a nickname- these aren't federal websites where accounts are tied to an SSN or things of the like matter. Fandom does not have anything in their ToU about having to use your legal birth name. I've seen Fandom Staff go by their nicknames all of the time. This is nothing new.

and I'm perfectly fine with people messaging me at 3am, and using any pronouns they wish for me. Fandom does not send mobile notifications, the most I see is the occasional "1" or "2" in the upper corner of my screen, something on Slack, or something on Discord.

You are definitely making this out to be way more complicated than it is.
