Just curious.
I bailed on reddit and killed my account because I fear that 45*/47's thought police would be able to correlate my post history with my identity. My login here isn't even tied to an email. I intend to make the challenge of backtracking me a lively one.
Theoretically deleting the account will scrub at least my comments, and I'm hoping if it takes them long enough any backups will be overwritten. It's not like I was advocating for violent action or anything, but I do work in a sensitive position and I don't need something I said in my free time and thought to cause me problems.
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.
Humans like talking about themselves and relating their experiences to those they're talking to.
Bots have good reason to do it, because it makes them more relatable.
Humans sometimes can't help themselves.
