There are bots and lurkers here with bad intentions. Just takes a couple of post with vague personal info to narrow it down.
This state, that city, I work as, my sister, etc.
Basically did it myself awhile ago and the admin saved me.
Be careful.
If u don't tell me ur latitude and longitude I am going to do horrible things to your brother ike
Eheheheheh you see you have fallen right into my bag of deception and castforth many tricks of misery coming your way AhaAHAHAHAJHAJA
I never even knew where ike was you fool, you total buffoon.
You hurt nobody by putting out false identifying information as well. Especially contradicting info.
since I live in Joe Biden's hometown of Scranton, I can tell you the Athracite Museum is pretty great
Yes I'm an American that lives in Sacramento of course
Speaking as a dude from Las Vegas NV who’s last name starts with a H, I agreee
I've got two kids I'm trying to keep safe. I'll do what it takes to make sure their dad doesnt get taken away
You can also keep it subtle as well. If you are concerned about doxxing yourself and are going to give vague information, consider giving slightly more specific but wrong information. Wrong information is harder to be doxxed with than vague but correct information.
Wait. Is this guy seriously saying that I can’t get laid? “Incredible. I will give you $5000 if you can get some poon tang before January 1st”? Do you have any idea who the fuck you’re talking to? When I got off Tinder because of the fucking quarantine, Tacoma wept. Even ignoring the fact that I have a girlfriend, even if we’re just talking like randos, I’m two hours away right now from being inside someone else. I have two skills -it’s non-monogamy and speaking publicly, okay? Do some fucking research!
Come at me chuds.
My address is 1000 Colonial Farm Rd, McLean, VA 22101
Still waiting for Hoover's disembodied head to make a decision.
Yes we are Vlad, it's 9pm Moscow Time and the night shift has logged on
What about if I somehow accidentally give "my address" but it's really the address of a 5'2 right wing YouTuber with a high pitch voice?
Heh, joke's on you fools. Me and my fam have an entire security detail that prevents doxxing.
I've been advised that there's merely 8.5-9% chance of anyone inching on my whereabouts ;)
I would suggest reporting any instances of self-dox to the admins. If it's a minor instance then a comment reply may be appropriate (as a reminder to them and any lurkers), but it can also draw more attention to it. If it is more major, or you feel like they are giving away too much info across multiple posts, it's probably better to messaged admins if you don't know them well, otherwise it comes off pretty creepy ("Hey, I'm pretty sure I know where you live and your job..." out of nowhere)
A controversial idea would be to white-hat try and dox people, and hand information off to the admins. I don't like it, but it also kinda makes sense.
Just spam that vaush copypasta and make the scrapers get bad info
Yeah I've DM'ed a few people who have doxxed themselves by posting Google photos albums
I don't know if this is true but eh, seems fun.
Hi, my name is Shirley, i'm 34, live in Dubai, wrote a famous fanfic a few years ago and love scuba diving.
What's up, my name is Chrome, I live in an animal crossing island currently inhabited by a monkey, a family of racoons and a weird dodo. My goal in life is to obtain small hole-punched leaves for a living. Wish me luck.
archive link because that site is a for-sure yikes
132,000 articles, most of them seem to be made by bots skimming data from DSA orgs on social media and generating an article for every associated name.
Seems like this site gleans most of its info from facebook. Delete your facebook, folks
I cleansed fb recently and they make it extremely time consuming to do so, basically forcing you to do one post at a time, one like at a time, etc. and most things take multiple clicks / waiting for a poorly scripted context menu box to pop up. I recommend doing it sooner rather than later, there is currently a browser plugin that can automate the deletion of everything for you, but it only works on the “old style Facebook” which is getting redesigned now, and I don’t think the plugin is still in development anymore
The chuds are organized. Are you?
We should be creating our own analogs to sites like this. We should also be poisoning theirs.
Either way, it never hurts to do it yourself, just in case. At this point for chapo, I don't think it's something worth worrying too much about, but in general, even a site that does scrub exif data could become compromised.
All this sites exif data is stored on my Google drive we should be fine.
Don't know what that is. Someone smarter than me should put together some posting tips/guidelines. I'm gonna start screen grabbing any photos I post. The quality will be shit, but whatever.
Scrambled Exif on F-Droid works well at getting rid of it. Exit is just metadata that is stored in the image file. Usually stuff like camera info, date taken, and if you have it enabled, location.
It's funny how it legit just has your fucking gps coordinates. Lots of people have outed themselves doing crimes because of it. Oh did I say funny I meant fucking lame
Make sure you check your phone settings, it has an option to not add gps data to exif.
Ah yes, that's why jpegs are rotated at weird angles sometimes unless you manually rotate them first.
