On Reddit I used to delete every few months but I also shared too many personal details and didn’t want to dox myself. I’ve mostly stopped doing so.
If people know I live in Germany, it’s much different then when I tell them which university I graduated in which year and my current employer or home town. You never know what comment made someone enraged and wanting to hunt you down. Sometimes something like talking about health issues anonymous can be helpful, but bad if it’s used to dox and blackmail you in real life.
People are crazy out there. I don’t think I’ve shared nearly enough in Lemmy yet to make myself searchable. (Please don’t try. lol)
It’s not about being an important person in real life, it’s about not wanting to bring maniacs home. It costs me almost zero time to do that little of creating a new account.
