I don't really think I'm important enough for doxxing to matter. I've even posted my social security number in a chat room before, just for a laugh. Also my banking and paypal logins.

One time after I did that, I met a nice person who privately messaged me. They were just like me, same mothers maiden name, same name for our first pet, even went to the same first concert! what are the odds?

Anyways so like a week later some hacker stole my identity. I couldn't believe it. The crazy part though is that my credit score actually went UP. About a month later the hacker actually called me and tried to make me take my identity back but I knew better than that. No backsies. Heh, sucker. Have fun with your new wife, moron.

Honestly, I was happy to have someone to talk to for a bit. It was nice.

Anonymity is a myth. If you don't want to be known to have said it, don't say it.

Honestly, I couldn't care less who knows what about me... Not making it easy for anyone, don't get me wrong, I believe in not saying more than is needed. But I see no reason to not answer truthfully when asked something personal.

I'm the type of person who'd willingly give my data to train LLMs or what-have-yous if their owners weren't a bunch of pricks and just asked me nicely instead of that "Legitimate Interest" cloak and dagger bullshit. Also if they weren't money grubbing bastards.

I change my identities often. So if one identity is doxed it does not matter since I probably just used it for some not important debates. This makes them harder to link them sincr no identity has enough details to fully dox me and get linked with other identities.

This is true however only for being doxed by general public. Police however could easily dox me by my IP without me giving out anything.

For high risk stuff I use tor and single use identities.

I change details a lot. Get the catharsis of pouring my soul while hopefully confounding whatever dipshit would think I'm a good target.

My name maybe has some letters in common with "Alice".

What?

Uhm, well quite frankly I'm just living my life. There's plenty of ways for others to mess it up. And people do screw with me, but I haven't experienced identity theft yet or heard of anyone who experienced it. I'm actually more worried about a car hitting me.

I have a public facing persona separate from my legal name. Though I do take steps to decouple the two.

I do not care about dox. I have nothing to hide, like a need for anonymity. I only care about corporate targeted manipulation focusing on my immediate interactions like page dwell time and targeted suggested posts, studies, and products used to manipulate me with politics and advertising

its human nature to want to be understood as what we are. besides some people are thirsty.

Bots have good reason to do it, because it makes them more relatable.

Humans sometimes can't help themselves.
