I've always envied people who had names like Tim Smith who could never be tracked online
I've left social media in 2013 (I had facebook back then).
Tomorrow I could kill someone and people would have no clue who am I, who I defend, where do I work, what do I do, how much racist am I.
How much racist are you?
alot and I can be open about it.
There's a good thing about me, which may or not last forever: i'm out of the matrix for 5 years, which means I'm self-employeed and self-sufficient, which means....I'm uncancellable.
Are you a farmer?
I googled my name and there's like 20 people with it. I was surprised.
>name is completely unique in the world
fuck you mom and dad
>mfw opsec ruined before i was born
You can change your name in a few months for a few hundred dollars. Doing so makes you borderline a non-person, and because of transes the process of getting anything with your old name purged from search engines is extremely streamlined.
You can do a full digital wipe at any time.
I have a super uncommon family name. Guess I’ll have to pick my kids name from the latest top 10 most popular list to compensate.
thanks for sharing mr beast
>I built a house next to an active volcano

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>Starlink is gonna change that
hilarious. considering that some countries/rogue states are already jamming their satellites as they pass over their countries, starlink isn't going to change shit.
Why dont you cut off your hands, that would solve the issue. If that doesn't work, cut off your eyes with a fork.
i can't make a new one because bots scraped me and if i tried to do anything on an alt you can do 2+2 and correlate the data
Not talking about an alt.
Just abandon current and make a new one.
just make a change in your life
and functionally behave a bit differently
maybe make a conscious effort to introduce new words into your vernacular
get creative, have some fun with it
goggle ‘narcissistic mortification’ and realize that theres a good chance you may unknowingly be trying to avoid the trauma of something like that. sorry in advance.
make a new identity, steve
redpill me on getting a new body
i could tel unnobody cares
but your subconscious wont let u listen to me
bc it wants to protect the complex of neurosis youve taken as a personality at any cost
I'm not OP, but... get out of my mind anyway.
>first thing my mom told me when I was old enough to use internet
>"never use your real name anywhere"
>got on chans later
>watched people get doxxed because they were dumb enough to use same username everywhere, and posted personal shit like name or pictures of their house
>never used same username since, never posted personal photos anywhere
feels good not to grow up a retard.
i blame google+ for deceiving me into thinking that i need a real name to register a youtube account, and i was also chasing after a girl on facebook so i needed to use a real name for that too
> be me
> only exist as one or two names
> can't be found
> no photos or any personal information anywhere
> people have been looking for me for years and they find nothing
pretty nice
i knew people in the military that warned me when i was young to never upload or say anything that reveals anything about my personal life/business using phones or net. this was ~25 years ago. they would talk about how 'people were listening' to phones and internet communications and not to rely on this shit unless you're using encryption. one of these guys refused to have his computer connected to any network, and hinting toward certain things without breaking their secrecy agreements with the government. when edward glowden released all the docs he stole, i got a few "told you so" replies from them.
That's literally what everyone does now, nobody cares
How bad is it?
people know that i posted cringe on unknown cheats
I wish I wish I wish I could make a new online persona somehow.
Then at least the shit I did online wouldn't be tied to all the other shit I've done.
Alas, there are no free email services to get me started.
I had this problem. I managed to delete all digital footprints. It took time and a lot of guessing old passwords, emails and usernames. But I now cannot be found
I don't upload much to social media - some quotes and anecdotes, maybe make a post here and there to seem active. I also don't like posts.
The best way to hide a tree is to plant it in a forest as I believe.
>my online identity is tied to my real life one because i had no opsec when i was younger
When did you become "privacy conscious", anon?
3 years ago
I posted a shitload of offensive content on personal accounts that could haunt me very much if it came back to me. I don't care, I scrubbed what I could but what is done is done and I'm not the same person today.
>registered different usernames on different forums blogs and so on
>different mail addresses mostly temp burners
>a dozen different twitters facebooks discords each with different data
>nothing remotely close to my name, only cartoon and movie and game characters
feels good man
good luck tracking me yall
naggers.
pretty sure someone out there could tie most of my online presence to my name if they cared enough.
anything that might possibly be perceived as "wrongthink" has been posted from accounts that can't be connected to me though, so i'm gucci.
> tfw share the name with a number of much more prominent people
Googling my first name + last name + country I was able to find exactly 2 facts about myself, none of which reveal my identity, place where I live or occupation.
I think even if I'll start shitposting under my real name everywhere I'll be safe.
I couldn't find even a single thing. The benefits of a common name.
>we have undeniable proof you said everything on this extremely lengthy list of horrible no-no words
>I didn't. That was a virus and a hacker.
>Prove it.
>No u.
>I did
Make a new online identity.
lol homosexual. i've been on the webz since 1995 if you google my name you get 0 results. never had a social media account
I came up with a new online persona when I joined a hobby this year because of this and I’m pretty sure if I hadn’t I would have been legit dead by now.
Just start over.
Purge everything and start over at least once every three years. Never disclose anything to people you are “friends” with online no matter how long you’ve known them.
>and I’m pretty sure if I hadn’t I would have been legit dead by now.
well? you can't just drop this bomb without telling us about it
I mean just from the image it’s IYKYK, and maybe not full-on dead, who knows,
but TL;DR I got into ai chatbots and started hosting a website for character definitions that became semi-notorious for allowing anything. It gets ddosed and reported to government agencies pretty regularly. I can think of at least four instances of people trying to play friendly and specifically trying to figure out where I live. Who knows what their intentions were.
>and I’m pretty sure if I hadn’t I would have been legit dead by now
You deal with drugs?
giving the internet to normies was a mistake. I had good opsec from age 12.
what did you achieve with your online identities that you can't just abandon them?
Pfft. Make another online identity with the name Tim Smith.
It's actually exactly as the information specialists in your nation desired, lol get rekt click the link and subscribe scrub.
my clanmate somehow got my real name from my alias when i was 13 so i became very paranoid after that (i still do not know how he did it)
man i used to hang out with a few people that attracted negative attention and let me fucking tell you. seeing one of my own friends get so easily doxed LIVE flipped a switch. mind you i just knew a few people and didn't do anything.
I just have a typical "loner recluse" online footprint, complete with an utter lack of up to date pictures and several email accounts for porn services.
I figure thats enough to throw them off the scent of the wifi antenna i have pointed towards town.
>i had no opsec when i was younger
just like everyone else then
purge everything and start over
Why do you people care? unless you're an eceleb or intentionally are trying to piss people offline no one gives a fuck.
or just wear a scramblesuit and sand your fingerprings off lol
