    To find you attackers would:

    • Look through your 868 comments, from that they can build a persona.
    • Start looking for alt accounts on the fediverse using that information.
    • Could be you were active on Reddit/twitter/facebook they could probably find you there, even if you deleted all your posts/comments.

    How much have you doxxed yourself through the years?

      Then do it. I used the same username reddit. Last time someone tried to prove it, they got the state wrong and I never even tried hiding that.

        Naah, I got better stuff to do than snooping at you 🕵️

        And I’m not experienced in it, so it would take a lot of time learning the craft. Those series don’t watch themselves you know…

            In this persons defence it’s like them claiming you could have a tumour removed from your brain to save your life. Then you reply prove it. Then they say I’m not a surgeon. Then you say don’t make claims you can’t back up. There are steps missing in the logic

              There’s a world of difference between leaving enough info in Public Internet for some rando to find you and needing a search warrant. It’s trivial to check someone’s comment history on reddit for selfies and start looking for landmarks. I’ve always kept a hard divide between anything that has my real name and my shit posting.

                I think the part that you’re missing is the amount of tracking that goes on in the background. This is basically public in that you don’t need a warrant to access it though you do have to have money. These ai companies have plenty and they have motivation

                  Randos on the internet don’t have access to that though. I wasn’t going to get into it, but I also run blockers for those sorts of things as well. The few times I’ve seen targeted ads, they’ve always been way off my actual demograph.

              Yeah he’s just be a cunt that pretends he doesn’t understand nuance to feel superior. Still plenty of that from reddit here

            Don’t ask people to doxx you, you are the one standing in a field during a thunderstorm.

            And I can fully back up my claim of having no experience in doxxing.

            You are the one that ends up in trouble by acting tough guy, when someone with too much time on their hands posts your details on pastebin.

              You sure I’m the one acting tough? I’ve simply never shared personal information. I grew up when the idea of putting personal pictures with names online was taught to kids as dangerous. It’s takes effort to doxx yourself and I’ve never done that.

                If you think I’m showing how much of a 1337 haxx0r I am by listing some steps to look through people’s posts and shit, you should try reading it as a warning instead.
