Some people still go through life without posting or taking much on the public internet at all, instead socializing at work or bars. Incomprehensible, I know.

That, I’m aware of. In the context of this extreme action it is rare for an individual to not have some telltale online indicator.

So far it appears he was a loner, with no real life friends. From the public information, it looks like he didn’t do much online socializing either.

There is no indication he was using any kind of privacy tools like a vpn/etc either to carry on an anonymous online social life.

By all accounts, he just didn’t talk to other people at all. The possible “major depression” diagnosis may explain that lack.
