Just curious.
lattrommi ( @lattrommi@lemmy.ml ) English13•5 months agoI don’t really think I’m important enough for doxxing to matter. I’ve even posted my social security number in a chat room before, just for a laugh. Also my banking and paypal logins.
One time after I did that, I met a nice person who privately messaged me. They were just like me, same mothers maiden name, same name for our first pet, even went to the same first concert! what are the odds?
Anyways so like a week later some hacker stole my identity. I couldn’t believe it. The crazy part though is that my credit score actually went UP. About a month later the hacker actually called me and tried to make me take my identity back but I knew better than that. No backsies. Heh, sucker. Have fun with your new wife, moron.
Honestly, I was happy to have someone to talk to for a bit. It was nice.

Alice ( @Alice@beehaw.org ) 2•5 months agoI change details a lot. Get the catharsis of pouring my soul while hopefully confounding whatever dipshit would think I’m a good target.
My name maybe has some letters in common with “Alice”.

Tiefling IRL ( @tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 2•5 months agoI have a public facing persona separate from my legal name. Though I do take steps to decouple the two.

Humans sometimes can’t help themselves.

UltraGiGaGigantic ( @UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml ) English1•5 months agoI’m a cool cat and I feel left out.
I post, therefore I am. Life is not worth protecting. The less rent I pay, the less wage slaving I do, the better. There is no happy ending, there is no better place. Just anguish and torment.
We all find peace one day. Either in this life or the next. Mine awaits in the next.
May all who read this find theirs soon in this life. Peace strangers.
