Found a coworker's reddit account and they post a lot of misogynistic, transphobic, anti-family (?) comments. What should I do? (hexbear.net)

I am 100% confident it's them because so many details lined up (team, size of family, compensation, role, location, job level) including them using a specific phrase of words after a few days I sent it in our work chat

Obviously, I can't prove it's them so HR would never take action. Not only that but this guy is one of those started coding when they were 10 years old so not only are they a higher level than me, they also perform way better than me so complaining to my manager or teammates would 100% also backfire as they would 100% prefer a very high performing misogynist and transphobe than a poor performing woke sjw (me)

Everyone is giving you lame advice. I will give you epic advice.

Plant a bug on his computer that screenshots his computer and send it to a burner email. If he is indeed the user, Stay late one day, and when everyone goes home, try to log into his computer (or a computer you can log into and make the desk seem identical to his). Change the date so it looks like it’s in the middle of the day and he simply forgot to lock his computer. Pull up the screenshot of his posts, and take a photo in a candid fashion. Then turn it to HR.

Simple saul-your-honor

Might not even need to go through with this.

If they're a redditor there's a good chance they reddit during work hours. Just need to get a photo of it. Account name will be visible in top right. This may take some time and patience but it's going to happen eventually.
