It doesn’t take a genius to realize that a long-running account on any platform can easily be used to build a profile of someone.
Since many discussions on Lemmy and other platforms can often cause someone to write about their job, family, hobbies, where they live (city/community), etc., there’s a lot of concern about non-private post history being used against someone.
Other than using fake names, throwaway emails, etc. are there any other best practices for handling this?
Should we be creating new accounts/profiles every once in a while?
Speaking of which, when I get my data export from Reddit, I do plan to edit my posts - is there a plugin or script that can do this automatically. I’m not going back to edit thousands of posts over the last 13+ years, which is something I did with Facebook and that took weeks! LOL
