How to find out if multiple social media accounts are the same person?
Now, I've had a suspicion for a while that this person has been contacting me on multiple accounts under different names and personas (primarily because of similar grammatical styles and similar general account topics), but I'm not 100% sure.
Originally, I was going to see if there was a way of finding out if two IP addresses matched but I couldn't find anything for that, so then I came across a couple of people finders (e.g. PeekYou, and Truthfinder) but you have to pay to find out the person's social media profiles- the most new information I've got from any of those sites for free was the person's religion and political affiliation, but I'm interested in trying to work out if this person is behind multiple accounts across a variety of social media platforms, and I cannot find a way of figuring this out for free. Can anyone help?

If someone has been harassing you on Facebook or other social media it's best to keep blocking them or reporting incidents and to tell your family that someone has been doing this and you aren't feeling safe online.
Leave it to those platforms to find out and act within their policies. If you know for sure who it is and it's of a really bad nature you can go to police if safety and well being is threatened. Bottom line is tell your parents, keep reporting them and show through this that they aren't going to get the attention they seek.
It's best adults know because if it's the same person you know and think it is they may have a mental health issue to a degree you aren't aware of.
If it's some random asshole on Facebook harassing you over a certain topic all the time note the sentence structure and what they are saying and keep reporting them as a fake account.
As far as tracing who they are that's an area I know little to nothing about and how that works. However, the founder of this site Dangernerd is a computer and tech guru. If you hit his page up he may be able to give you further info on being sure who is doing it.
In the meantime build a case and archive all correspondence and take screen shots. You may find yourself needing all of that info later if you need to show adults or authority figures exactly what the person did. Document all of that.
The other thing you can do on Facebook with friend requests is set your profile to private and set your settings so nobody can make a request and to where you can't accept incoming messages. Then only trusted friends can get through.
You could go to the extreme and delete your social media accounts all together and start new pages that only your trusted friends have access to and this idiot can't follow you around on.
Also, never post publicly comments on any topic or article that ay be controversial ie Trump, Biden, entertainment, history, people's videos etc or you'll have weird people coming out of nowhere to drive you crazy in the fashion you have mentioned.
