This is simply untrue.
EG "I am—well, I was—great at opsec. I got doxxed on farms because someone spent 50+ hours trying to nail me down until he ultimately “compare[d] her tweets to weather history to determine her city, and complied a parametric list of all the profs in nyc and went from there."
- oynqr 4y agoI don't see what an out-of-context quote disproves about my hypothesis.
- tomrod 4y agoYour assessment that the quote is out-of-context is where the disconnect looks to be. The OP mentions that they tried to follow good opsec but had an issue, and you mentioned "Showing basic restraint and not oversharing online" as the solution -- which based on OP's opsec comment they looked to follow that.
- oynqr 4y agoI still don't know where the quote came from, its context, or if it is a quote in the first place. Don't get me wrong, I am legitimately puzzled by this exchange.
- tomrod 4y agoI don't find it puzzling. You're putting the onus of being harassed on OP despite them following what they felt was reasonable opsec, rather than on the people harassing. At least, that's what your prior comments communicated.
- oynqr 4y agoIf you paint a giant target on your back while also revealing who and where you are, people that dislike you for whatever reason are going to target you. That is reality and will continue to be reality even without a site like Kiwi Farms. My initial comment communicated that OP was probably going to be fine. Or not. It's not like I can tell.
- DanBC 4y agoSure, but we have plenty of people who did not paint targets on their back[1], and who didn't reveal who or where they are, and they got doxxed by obsessive trolls at KF. Telling people "you'll be fine, KF won't dox you" is simply untrue for plenty of people who did get doxed. [1] unless "existing while trans" counts as target-painting.
- thunderfork 4y agoSo your "hypothesis" is that "don't ever post about the weather if you don't want to get harassed and chilling effect'd over being trans" is fine and normal and cool, but "don't run a harassment website if you want to keep free DDOS protection for more than 13 years" is the end of free speech as we know it?
- oynqr 4y agoNo. Please refrain from putting words into my mouth.
- DanBC 4y agoYou not knowing how to use a search engine makes you unqualified to talk about the obsessive use of search engines by KF users.
