No one cares. Not a single person has attempted to look me up; at least no one who has admitted it.
Cant imagine anyone who knows me bothering to look through much. I have had accounts where it certainly would be a problem if they were just widely known to belong to me, but even then there’s a couple irl people who know of them and haven’t bothered trying to look through it.
if we were just talking about this account being widely known to belong to me, the biggest change would be getting outed as trans at work. Not exactly sure how well that would go.
Eh, not very. If you look hard enough you can already find out my real name from my Lemmy account.
In the US, wouldn’t be fun to get deanonymized.

I’m a non-US-born American, and probably wouldn’t be dissenting online if I were a non-citizen. And even so, I’m using Tor right now.
I already accounted for like the 50% chance that NSA has deanonymized me so I make sure to not make any actual threats. So yea even tho I’m dissenting, I have waterered-down what I really mesnt to say so my words are still supposedly legal (mostly do this so that I win the “court of public opinion” if I do get arrested). Like if I get arrested for a “trump loves to suck dick” comment, I’ll be famous on the news especially considering Mahmoud Khakil is a Muslim Greencard holder that got so much good press and its only because they managed to villianize Palestine, while I’m a Citizen and I fit into the “model minority” stereotype so its much harder to paint a negative picture about me.
Like the headline looks like: “Anti-CCP ethnic Chinese, American Citizen, whom the CCP tried to prevent the birth of under the One Child Policy, arrested for criticizing dictatorships and excersicing freedom of speech”. Yea legally I can get very fucked, but I’ll make a great news article. I’m okay with dying if it mean I got a wikipedia page for it lol.
I guess I could get very fucked if they actually start to prosecute online comments, but then again there’s like millions of anti-trump comments they have no room to fit everyone in concentrstion camps, unless they pull off a “Tiananmen”.
If Americans really let this trump version of Tiananmen happen, then I probably wouldn’t have enjoyed what comes afterwards anyways so I might be better off just dying.
Very. Google is now summarizing everything it knows about you.
Example:
I couldn’t get a summary. I may suck at gemini-fu. Or I’m a nobody; and that’s fine too.
honestly I act the same in real life so not much
Everyone knows my nickname. It would be trivial to find my shit online.
I would be chased off Lemmy.
Honestly, not that hard to figure out who I am. I know I put out enough info.
Not a problem.
Actually more people in my life know about my “intimate preferences” than they know my opinions on what I post online. Everyone wants to know my kinks, but nobody wants to listen to me whine about the government and corpos. smh my head
Not very :3
The people who stalk me online and fantasize about killing me are the bigger issue than my family etc finding out (who already know about my lifestyle). However, it would be extremely hard for them to physically locate me regardless and even harder for them to actually harm me so whatever, I’m not cool with it but it probably wouldn’t impact me
Not as much as you think. It is already pretty closely tied toy name.
Not at all
Which one? If all of them, I’m very screwed.
If it’s only one of them, I might still be fine. I often have more than one account in each “domain” to maintain some semblance of compartmentalism. If I can’t do that, I usually don’t post much, if at all.
Two things are true:
-
anything I write in here, I’ll have a shouting match about on the B train at 1 in the morning on a Tuesday with a good friend who’s smart and funny and, sadly, very wrong about the proper way to test a peacock for colour-blindness. IT’S COLOURED BUGS, CARL! COLOURED! BUGS! !GHAWD!!
-
randos who hear it will form negative opinions about me. And that’s okay until - with my luck - they’re my interviewer the next day.
I’m okay with those two things being true. One of my worst interviewers became my boss and a very excellent friend, so there’s that.
