Fuuuuuck i almost forgot about digital fingerprints. To all of those unacquainted: the way you type, spell, text, etc. The words you use, the phrases, the grammar–everything, ends up as your digital print. Just because your username changes, doesn’t mean your typing does. This is how you will be tracked. Clearing cookies, using different names, dusting your tracks, this all helps, but when you type the same, it’s still you.
What do you propose? Use AI for writing so it always sounds the same, for everyone?
rozodrutreat your online activity like you would treat every other activity. The way you type and converse on like Lemmy or whatever is like the way you would talk with friends. very casual, shooting the shit, being blunt etc. Now would you talk to your grand mother or the pope or your boss the same way you’d shoot the shit with your buddies? probably not. Would you talk to your mom the same way you talk in an average CoD Lobby? doubtful. LInkedin, Facebook, etc anything that is tied to your actual name is what I call “granny speak” type on there like you’re talking to the most innocent pure soul in the world. Lemmy/Reddit/whatever where you utilize a screename that’s your gutter talk time.
I mean this is how I’ve always done it even back in the late 90s where it was constantly drilled into us that NO ONE must know who you are online. This from the days when EVERYONE had a screenname and NO ONE used their actual name online.
