Did you ever wanna have a username but it was taken? Us early adopters to the fediverse can now freely choose nice, untaken usernames!
Let that sink in. We have the luxury and freedom to nearly choose any username we want. without having to add unnecessary underscores or numbers.
Thats nice.
A potential downside is that anything you did on Reddit might be tied to anything you do here. Given enough posts you can eventually dox a person
If you follow protocol, don’t reuse your identity and don’t link anything back to your old account, it is really, really hard to do so. Someone must really want to dox you in order to do this (writing style, topics of interested, …).
Assuming we’re ignoring IP, email addresses and other identifying factors.
Talking about this, anyone knows of a proper
opsecmagazine?
