It's not a threat, it's a statement about any of us-- you, me, them, them too
Syscourse is an extremely volatile space-- we've seen that in the released chat logs
Don't EVER let your guard down online, especially in discourse spaces, don't let your ego get so big that you think you're above it
It's terrifying what technology is capable of, Google lens specifically has a thing for glasses
Here's some things you can do to protect yourself:
1. When someone calls you a lonely loser on the internet, don't post a picture of you and your partner and a house in the back just to prove you're getting some, it's not worth it (or any other variation of this scenario, don't rise to the bait)
1.5. Don't post like a hundred other photos of yourself on your public discourse account, you make a lot of people very angry, this is a terrible idea
2. Don't post a near identical photo of your business photo to your discourse account, I don't think it's good for business anyways, those aren't people you want as clients
3. Don't put that you're in the process of changing your name to your well-known pen name on your real life Facebook with your current name on it (what are you going to do when that IS your legal name??? How does that work?)
4. Don't have a documentary made about yourself, the producer will likely go on to share more than you want them to (that's what Laura calls it)
5. Don't do multiple amas about yourself that can be referenced years later
6. Don't share pertinent information about when, where, and what position you used to work to win arguments
6.5. Don't put your real location on your profile if you've been legally certified in any way, past or present (this is genuine real advice)
7. Don't claim to be undoxxable
Don't do all of the above and then be like
When someone points out you've shared something dangerous
Like okay, you telling on yourself?
"I posted something somewhere I shouldn't have and someone noticed, help"
