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?

    Don’t ever show your face, don’t give out job or home address or where you work, don’t post photos where you reflect back, don’t fall for thirst traps and give out your photo to supposed hot N sexy babes, also vpn and tell ppl you live in Texas when you really live in Vermont to fuck with doxxers
