I don't mind being insulted or pestered by idiots on the mainstream internet, but I am way more paranoid about stuff like >>145570 says. One thing I've learned on the internet is to never underestimate the power of a horde of dedicated autists/retards with too much free time on their hands. (e.g. capture the hwndu flag, cat torture video manhunt, training camp geolocation, "weaponized autism"). Doubly so if they fervently believe that their actions constitute some form of justice or righteousness (e.g. reddit bomber misidentification, thin rose quartz, needle cookies, InquisitorGhost).

If, for whatever reason imaginable, 100-1000 internet weirdos decide to go on a moral crusade, I am afraid of the extent of what they are able to achieve. Of course, a good majority are probably keyboard warriors who won't do anything beyond text and image spam, but I am particularly worried about the few who wouldn't hesitate to resort to doxxing, swatting, actual home invasion etc. I can't think of a way to mitigate something like that once it happens.

It's a major reason why I don't think it's a good idea to give out personal details online (Isn't that a piece of wisdom from the 90s?), though I wouldn't be surprise if they could somehow track people down using metadata, IP addresses or some other hidden detail dug up after hours of searching.

If you don't mind me asking, where do you usually post? and do you have any identifiable information on your account (e.g. banking details for commissions, IRL photos of anything, email addresses)?
That's usually how they can find your dox.
