- 8organicbits 4y agoI don't think that technique works too well. The bigtable dataset (and I believe firebase as well) both keep the original comment and original username. If you change your username, then someone can trivially check old comments on bigtable and see how HN currently renders those same comments today to learn the new name. Although increasing the complexity of doxing is a worthwhile goal.
