Ask Lemmy

I'll have some explaining to do, but I guess since everyone will have their dirty laundry out in the open, people will get quite more open-minded.

Also, people I care about know everything anyway.

I'll be okay.

I should be reasonably ok... I think. Sure, there were a few instances where I, uh... let the internet anonymity get to my head, and... used sarcasm. But it's past me, I swear. Reckless acts of a younger man.

it's over

Very.

Them: "Wow. I can't believe jubilationtcornpone would do something like that."

Me: "Yeah, well that makes two of us. And are you seriously trying to tell me you're JUST NOW hearing about that? You actually missed my compete and total public humiliation? That was like ten years ago."

Im completely fucked, I have said a lot of things that are very critical of the "Israeli" government and occupation (I live under their occupation). Also Bibi isnt exactly kind to critiques, I would probrally be suicided the next day. After being revealed and it being that public id probrally have a few hours to publish a manifesto before a Mossad agent neutralizes me.

I'm not crazy, we all agreed you are in fact the crazy one. Also MW2 lobbies were a different time...

Ah, my username is my legal name and there are pictures of me in my account. My username everywhere is my legal name, cause I think I lack imagination.

So I guess I’m fucked exactly this much, which doesn’t seem like a lot.

I generally get left alone. Everyone worries about their own personal problems enough to have time to bother someone random on the internet.

Edit: if I post my address, someone’s gonna ring my doorbell and scare my birds, so you’re not getting it. I’m in the Portland metro area though.

I really believe the things I say.

Based on real life experiences with having random guys try to hit on me, I'd probably get a lot of guys DMing me.

Ya'll are gonna have to travel pretty fucking far to fight me. Welcome to the Tundra.

Let's go mfer. I said some cringy shit on Facebook when I was a teenager but I'll own up to em. Largely, I stand by my opinions, doesn't matter if my name is attached to them or not, I say what I feel and what I feel doesn't change based on whether I have a name tag on or not.

I might find myself suddenly on some governmental lists of some interest, especially considering how vocally I have been speaking out against our incoming government, but other than that? I wear my past with pride. I'll admit when I was wrong and stand by my opinions that still deserve them, and chuckle over some bad takes from the past, but I feel no shame in this arena.

And the most boring life of some random person. Even if you expose all the details either it will be slightly less than cringe or complete banality.

Who would ever want to read posts of some guy who works 9 to 5 job and does nothing weekends? For some 30 years???

Internet people are weird man.

I'm not, it's not a secret. As for deleted comments, they're mostly just stuff I deleted because I forgot to double check a fact and realised I was wrong after posting

Not great. Some family members would either stop talking to me, or double down once they had my address to try to "fix me".

Lots of people have written fan-fiction worse than that!

As far as I know not much but the internet has been around awhile. I mean if it happened to everyone I would be much more boring than I think most. If its literally just me I assume it would be a thing because of the novelty.

People will probably think I'm the most moderate right winger ever. But I'm really not. I just have hard opinions on things.

I would have no other choice but to kill myself since I vented about a stupid MISdiagnosis of a stupid disorder whose label means literally nothing that took 20 years from me as society only sees that stupid disorder instead of a human being. My work friends will view me as less than the scum on their shoes. My managers will assume I just don't like working because it's not playing video games. Everyone will assume the stupidest things about me instead of just actually talking to me. Because why would they? I'm less than a rat. Literally, rat traps and poison are made to kill the rat painlessly and comfortably. Puppets controlled by that stupid disorder die painfully over several years and "they just need to get over it." I wouldn't be allowed to work or rent an apartment because society thinks I'm an overgrown infant. No 988 caller would take me seriously, in fact everyone will agree that I deserve abuse since the abuse is "helping". No one would believe the diagnosis was a mistake. They'll mistake my ptsd from living on the wrong side of society for that stupid disorder. They'll mistake everything I enjoy for that stupid disorder. Like all the people I cut ties with and completely ditched, they'll mistake me for that stupid disorder.

I'll finally get my blog back! Also some cringy facebook stuff, but it'll be worth it.

Hm, I think I had a problematic username at one point as a dumb teen, but I like to think I'd just be a normal amount of embarassed.

I regularly enter fighting game tournaments under this name, and my face has been on stream several times. While I'd prefer not to keep my full name and identifying info too easy to find, if someone wanted to track me down they probably already could using that.

I don't have anything too embarassing to expose either. My worst crime is arguing with people on the internet way too much, but I don't think anyone's going to have much reason to want to go after me for that.

Eh. I'm basically the same online as in person.

Semi

You can already find me from my username and I don't delete things.

You'll also find explicit pictures and a rough idea of where I live and have worked.

I'm not that interesting.

Not very much at all. I pretty much have said whatever I wanted to my entire life- as I don’t GAFF what other people think.

Not very much, I assume there's already some way for my name to be associated with my online identity just due to a slipup at some point or some good social deduction, and I rarely delete things I post anyways (they can be found in the modlog)

Not very much. Not that I'm proud of what I posted on the internet when I was a teen but it's nothing extreme.

Honestly not really. Most of my online accounts are already known by friends and are used by me with that knowledge in mind. The ones that aren't are a bit more personal but not wild enough to actually mess anything up.

Assuming that this would cover all past legal names as well (as I have had a grand total of four, different first and last names): still not a lot.

I have changed a lot since I first started posting things on the web, and I am embarrassed about some of the older stuff that I said before I learned more about certain subjects. But (as far as I can remember), the worst comments I ever made were ones in defence of outlawing abortion, and even those I never posted hate in.

So, given that those few comments are vastly outnumbered by my more recent comments explaining why my previous stance was nonsensical, I would probably have to be more afraid of someone threatening me for being a trans person who advocates for bodily autonomy as a basic and inalienable human right.

0%, I post under my real name and I've only deleted comments because of accidental duplicates.

Meh. Only the NSFW stuff I guess, but nothing that I wouldn't tell someone if they really wanted to know.

But I stay off Facebook because I'm not interested in having an online presence or profile, so I guess in the sense of suddenly being thrust into that world at all, not related to the content I've posted just the literal online presence - that would bother me more, and the threat of violence or crime from being more visible like that.

Does this include private messages

I'm the same here as I am everywhere.
