Not sure how true that is anymore these days, with the existence of so many third-party 4chan archive websites. Although your stupidity probably still won't be easily linked to your identity, so there's that.
- krackers 10y agoEven with the archive websites, the sheer volume of posts means that any single one is likely to be forgotten unless it's particularly kek-worthy. Plus as you mentioned it's still disentangled from your identity and other posts (though I recall a report somewhere on de-anonamyzing 4chan users through semantic analysis)
- kahrkunne 10y agoThe archives are so vast that the data in them becomes mostly meaningless; the only point in reading them is to either check out threads that happened recently, or look at legendary posts (which would've been screencapped anyways)
