Blocking out the names but not the @s was certainly a choice. Or was the inanity part of a stealth advertising campaign where people point out the inanity and thus call attention to the @. The internet’s friggin weird.
Given how bad most name censoring is, I think most people doing it don’t actually want to but also don’t want to be accused of blatantly violating rules requiring it.
It’s a pretty stupid rule to extend protections against doxxing to publicly visible usernames. They’re already posting publicly with that name. Even with them blotted out, you can search for the text or reverse image search and find it in 2 seconds.
Yeah but 95% of people will be too lazy to do that and this will probably be enough to avert most brigading that might happen. I think this is about ad-hoc harassment campaigns more than doxxing which evokes more organized and focused harassment campaigns.
Typical default skin behavior
I just do it as a courtesy to the people as I’m usually making fun of them in forums they didn’t originally post in. It’s not like I’m thinking about it as being doxxing, more just that I’m poking fun at someone behind their back - if they’re a public figure that’s one thing - but the average Joe? Just feels impolite. That’s why I do it anyway.
I fake laugh everyday for ten minutes, so that when I die and relive life’s little moments, all I see are happy times.
Ain’t that the fucking saddest thing you ever heard? I’m sitting in an empty room, laughing my ass off to trick my dead self into thinking I had a good life.
I felt cool knowing where this was from thanks
I always get so upset when I realize im caring about work or thinking about it off the clock.
At my work we lost a few good souls to COVID. Weeks later it was like these people that were with the company for many years, never existed. Most couldn’t remember their names, and I’m starting for forget their faces.
Work doesn’t care about you or your livelihood.
Sometimes you’ve just really got to let it out, and you need to make time to do it. Really makes ya sad that people break down to that point and can’t just take a minute for a hug.
It’s the Two Minutes Self-hate.
