Every account you ever had, every post/comment you ever posted, now has your real name, a photo of you, and your address, all just magically show up on the webpage right next to each of your posts/comments (also, no “hacking” could hide the info). All deleted posts/comments are magically restored and nothing you do (short of permanently shutting down the website and physical destruction of the servers) can delete them. (Any edits would still show every change you made.) How fucked are you?
And don’t think about changing your name, or moving, all this info updates in real time. (for “magic” reason)
(You also cannot delete any future posts.)
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.
Meh. My real world would know what my digital world already knows, that I’m much more of a nerd than I portray myself as.
It’s not because I purposefully hide it. It’s because it’s not a topic that is interesting to anyone in my real world circle of friends. I don’t have real world friends who want to talk about Linux, and Open Source, and retro-video games, and all of the other stuff that I ramble on about online in forums where the peeps who understand me all hang out.
There’s probably some very surprising porn habits in there as well that my real world friends and family would have NO CLUE about, but c’est la vie.
No one would notice or care… 1/10 🙂
Same. The most surprising thing might be that I even have accounts online. And that I love pictures of scrungy cats.
I love pictures of scrungy cats.
Honestly, who doesn’t?
I tend to enjoy being devil’s advocate on controversial subjects so I’d score a 9/10 fucked through sheer misinterpretation
Absolutely same. I actually pretended to be a communist when I was in high school.
Add in a few remarks on porn sites, I’m pretty sure I’d have to change my name, my face, and go live in Brazil or something
Meh. A whole bunch of cringe posts from twenty years ago will show how much I’ve grown since I was 19. Some more recent arguments I got tired of will rear their ugly heads. But I generally try to be the same person online as offline, and that person isn’t particularly controversial, at least around the circles I run in.
But there would be a lot of people who would be in bodily danger.
Nobody cares about growth. Cancelled!
Not fucked. Of course I have some cringy stuff on MySpace from when I was in my early teens. But generally speaking, over the last two decades or so I don’t post anything I wouldn’t be OK with everyone finding out about
My real name is so generic, even if I doxxed myself you wouldn’t find me anywhere.
Everyone I know IRL already knows my online identity.
I’ve got you now, John Smith!
127.0. 0.1Scared yet??!?
I worked with a John Smith who came from Chicago. He would joke about hiding from the mob. At least I think he was joking…
I’m not. My real, full name is already on certain web accounts right next to “Tattorack”, which is the online handle I use everywhere.
Im not fucked because nobody gives a shit about me. If people actually start looking me up, it’ll probably create the most traffic to my art pages I’ve ever had.
I spoiled a part of Infinity War back in the day, and I’d expect a 305 lb katana wielding fedora wearer to appear out of the shadows at my door. Those dudes were pissed and drunk me didn’t even know I did it until the mod that banned me for a month pointed it out.
You could take permanent sanctuary in a health food store or a gym.
Yeah, but then I’ll be in a health food store or a gym.
you did WHAT
Whether or not I am anonymous does not change how/what I post. I also never delete any so nothing changes regarding that too. Cringe to be acting uncivil because you have a mask.
You should never post anything online that you wouldn’t be comfortable shouting at the top of your lungs in the middle of your hometown.
Facts. I’ve been posting exclusively as Postmortal_Pop on every platform I’ve been on since 2010. If someone wants me, they’d be downright incompetent if they couldn’t find me. That’s my name as much as my real name.
You don’t have feral horny alts? I mean me either, what a bunch of weirdos.
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.
Depends on the statute of limitations on drug trafficking I guess.
Noooo it was sooo difficult to find how to delete my Facebook account. With warnings like “people losing Facebook often loose their social life, are you really sure?”. And now my nearly empty page is back you say? Cringe.
But I’m not fucked, I try to treat people online like I treat people in real life, like I want people to treat me. I’m not scared of a heated discussion but I prefer to stay civil. So if people want to look me up, that’s fine, I make great coffee.
I only have issues with people who do not respect my boundaries so I prefer to keep them out of my life. But my mom already knows where I live, so still no harm done when my address is posted online.
…and the evil rowboat
Not very, unless the nazis I’m reminding people that every day is punch one of manage to wheezingly waddle up from the basement and attempt to do something about it despite my genes being more pure norse whitey aryan than they could ever dream of so attempts of me life would just be another proof of my superior intellectual reasoning to their simplistic racism tribalism.
Depending on country. In some, the nazis are already in government.
And/or are about to be. Many of them anyways.
