It doesn’t take a genius to realize that a long-running account on any platform can easily be used to build a profile of someone.

Since many discussions on Lemmy and other platforms can often cause someone to write about their job, family, hobbies, where they live (city/community), etc., there’s a lot of concern about non-private post history being used against someone.

Other than using fake names, throwaway emails, etc. are there any other best practices for handling this?

Should we be creating new accounts/profiles every once in a while?

    Yes I don’t get how people have trouble understanding this. It’s like arguing that something you posted in 1982 is still on groups.google.com or marc.info.
