It's a bold assumption that you will never dox yourself or be doxed. The fediverse by nature not at all private.
Yup. I was able to identify the employee running my company's subreddit that was hosting a current/former employee hatefest and many, many leaks, fueling RTO protests and unionization. Took all of about 30 mins of digging through his comments to figure it out. I never acted on it because I support everything about what it would lead to, but if I could figure it out, so could someone smarter than me who works for the interests of my company. He was still at the company, last I checked about six months ago.
Yeah I'm just gonna have to take my old reddit strategy of rolling a new account once a month.
So... avoiding mentioning the company name will help an individual if they're doxed while talking about it?
Do you really believe this?
Yeah it's not like these companies that do shady/illegal shit to save money go out and hire the best PIs and exCIA ops to find people who shit talk them. They use google and type in their business name with an extra word or two about their bad actions to find people who shit talk them.
"It's not like"
Just say they do. Don't try to beat around the bush. Don't play leapfrog with yourself, lol.
Just be direct about what you want to say. Own it.
You'll come off as less pretentious.
That's not even close to that I said.
If you say a bunch of things that would get you in trouble on your anonymous account, then over a period of time say enough other things to dox yourself, all your old account content is still there. Over time a little slip here, a little slip there. You put enough pins on the board, someone can find you, hell you might even accidentally talk about something unique. Happens all the time.
It's a risk for no good reason. Your're taking the risk so that some other nameless person on a social media instance can go ohhhhhh that company did bad things.
