Ask Lemmy

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

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

I am like this in public and in person. No impact.

I don't think I've really ever deleted anything that wasn't just a simple mistake (e.g. duplicate post or whatever) so I'm not worried about much there

I guess some people in my life might not realise quite how left wing I am, but I've not really kept it under wraps to anyone that's asked.

I assume I'll probably get targeted more by identity thieves and similar, which ultimately will probably be the biggest thing to fuck me over about the whole situation

Minorly inconvenienced. A lot of comments riddled with typos appear, and I'm vulnerable to normal doxxing. I have a few spicy takes, but nothing that jeopardizes a relationship with anyone I'm not willing to confront about it. Still rather not be doxxed out of principle.

You know I don't really know.

Pretty certain my ex would be upset. My lack of sympathy for the death of that CEO could get me in trouble with my job maybe.

If people I know didn't think of me as a loner weird guy before they would now.

Hell I haven't even posted a witty response to a comment on like a pornhub video or anything.

Im too boring to get fucked :/

Guessing 2/10. Real name is very common. I've made plenty of shitty and dumb comments over the years, but it would simply be embarrassing and that would be it. I don't hold any important or public positions.

I would hope that all the politicians and celebrities people actually parasocially care about would get all the attention something like this would stir up and compared with how awful so many of them are in public, even the worst posts of mine would hopefully end up pretty tame in comparison to whatever they're up to anonymously.

Meh. Someone might learn some of my naughty preferences, but I don't think anything would ruin me.

I'm 0% fucked but that Something Awful post where Cliff Yablonski referred to me as "Human Testicle" will resurface.

I'm fine with that.

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.

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

I'm pretty good.

Worst case my family finds out I've been talking shit about them behind their back, but they're all a bunch of fuckers except for my brother and even he's kind of iffy.

Other than a couple of questionable porn likes I don't really have anything I would be embarrassed to have publicly known about myself.

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

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.

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."

it's over

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.

Very.

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.

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

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.

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.

Semi

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.

Well everyone would know that I am batman and losing the cover would fuck me pretty hard

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, 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)

I'm the same here as I am everywhere.

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.

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.

Does this include private messages

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