At the most basic level, don't say anything online you wouldn't want seen again. Not in discord, not on twitter, nowhere. Always treat anything you disclose online as if it's public knowledge from that point on. Even if you delete it, there's a tonne of third parties that archive data you post, even on more "ephemeral" services.
- pbhjpbhj 6y agoIsn't it a given that the OP still wants to take part in online society. You're comment is more like "stop your eyes stinging when you're in the pool by never going in the pool", but they're looking for mitigations not avoidance.
- d3nj4l 6y agoThat's not the same. I'm not suggesting giving up social networks. What I mean by "never say anything you don't want sticking around" is that you should never disclose things that could be used to dox you. Never give anything more than a very general general area for location, or speak about which college you went to, or where you work. Talking about hobbies is fine, preferably on multiple accounts so nobody can link them together into a complete profile.
