      Corollary I am already doxed and I don’t post things I would not associate with in my personal or professional life.

      I assume that someone vindictive could use things against me that I say, so I only say things I believe in or that are obvious satire. I’m outright hostile to people that don’t have any empathy or critical thinking ability. I’m hostile to my co-workers when they don’t show any critical thinking skills and I guess that’s privilege I enjoy.

        On the other side of the coin, I use my real name openly and have done so for decades. I’m also openly trans, and it’s not hard to work out where I’m from, so with that, it’s trivial to track me down. Yet I’d rather roll the dice of that possibility than interact anonymously, and lose my connections and community.

      Oh, hi Mark! I wish more people would take the approach to start new accounts periodically. I was amazed at people on Lemmy complaining about losing 15 year accounts from le Reddit.
