Something I was dearly hoping wouldn't find its way over here from Reddit: screenshots of posts which erase the posters' identity for no good reason.
Giving proper credit for content is cool, kids.
... nah. Doxxing is not cool kids.
There's a difference between retaining the twitter handle of the person that publicly posted their conversation, and doxxing them.
yeah there's also a difference in someone who is expecting private messages to stay private only to then have your handle get attention in a bigass community, did u forget the linked pic this thread is about lol
Wait, so you're saying that someone publicly posting screenshots of their conversation expects the screenshots to stay private? Or do you honestly think that keeping the twitter handle will dox the other person in the conversation where their name isn't visible in the first place?
Additionally, it's not hard to find the original tweet by looking up the text. It took me all of 15 seconds.
im so confused. I thought a guy was saying the original poster should have unblocked the name of the guy being weird with his song, i was saying that would be bad
Ohh. That makes sense. I completely agree with that. I thought you were talking about the person that posted the screenshot originally.
In reddit, not blurring the person can lead to the comment section being angry at the person for some reason and in that case the person will get death threats in the best case scenario. There are many past examples of this. So all names remotely related to the real discussion (like here) better be removed.
Maybe Lemmy would be cooler than that but I'm not sure.
In the "look at this foolish person posting something showing how stupid they are" situations that's the case and it makes sense. In "this person openly posted content you think is good enough to repost but are removing the indicator of their rightful ownership from" situations it's not cool.
Yeah but not in a private conversation
An open post to their socials like this is not a private conversation.
Oh I see you mean the person who posted the convo screenshot. The girl in the circle pic.
That's right. That person shared this and their username should have been left on it.
