    Honestly, it’s becoming super easy to dox now the way that most platforms have tracking links. It’s actually probably a good idea for me to delete my hexbear account and start fresh, come to think of it

    If only I wasn’t attached to the very dumb idea of being part of the first wave of people to come over after the /r/cth ban

      I’m one of the OGs myself. I delete my account every couple months and start anew. If you’re ever sharing information about yourself, make something up about yourself or even have a personality sheet. If you’re feeling particularly worried, I’d go as far to use chatGPT to mess with your writing style.

      I’m from the r/cth days and have had just the one account. I’m not afraid of being doxxed because of my ironclad “being too unimportant and boring to be noticed” defense.

    • I’ve been here since the r/cth days, but I rotate names (without wiping accounts). That may not be the best solution either, but it works for me. Then again, I’m not a famous (nazi) cartoonist, so I doubt anyone would go to the trouble of even trying to dox me. It’s also not like hexbear has the kind of tracking apparatus that major social media sites do.
