Yup. I was able to identify the employee running my company’s subreddit that was hosting a current/former employee hatefest and many, many leaks, fueling RTO protests and unionization. Took all of about 30 mins of digging through his comments to figure it out. I never acted on it because I support everything about what it would lead to, but if I could figure it out, so could someone smarter than me who works for the interests of my company. He was still at the company, last I checked about six months ago.
It’s a bold assumption that you will never dox yourself or be doxed. The fediverse by nature not at all private.

Yeah I’m just gonna have to take my old reddit strategy of rolling a new account once a month.
So… avoiding mentioning the company name will help an individual if they’re doxed while talking about it?
Do you really believe this?
If an account posts enough vague info, eventually when you piece them all together they’re not so vague anymore.
