Seems like a contradiction to me, you don't want to publish anything
but you want a LinkedIn account in which I'd expect you to publish
things.

As soon as you publish anything it becomes public knowledge, even if
it is supposedly locked behind some registration or similar system.

So my advice would be, don't put anything out that you don't want to
be completely public.

Something else to remember, things like writing style or specific
phrases can also make you trackable so if you are being really
paranoid watch out what you type. I linked a guy who sent me one
"anonymous" email back to his real identity fairly quickly as the way
he signed off his emails was very distinct.
