Every account you ever had, every post/comment you ever posted, now has your real name, a photo of you, and your address, all just magically show up on the webpage right next to each of your posts/comments (also, no “hacking” could hide the info). All deleted posts/comments are magically restored and nothing you do (short of permanently shutting down the website and physical destruction of the servers) can delete them. (Any edits would still show every change you made.) How fucked are you?

And don’t think about changing your name, or moving, all this info updates in real time. (for “magic” reason)

(You also cannot delete any future posts.)

      I wish it was true that nothing can be truly deleted on the internet. The reality is so very much has been posted and long since lost. There are some things I wish I could find traces of, but are likely lost to the vastness of the internet. Of course, you should treat everything like it cannot be deleted, but the reality is many things can, and have been, entirely deleted.

      Absolutely same. I actually pretended to be a communist when I was in high school.

      Add in a few remarks on porn sites, I’m pretty sure I’d have to change my name, my face, and go live in Brazil or something

    I spoiled a part of Infinity War back in the day, and I’d expect a 305 lb katana wielding fedora wearer to appear out of the shadows at my door. Those dudes were pissed and drunk me didn’t even know I did it until the mod that banned me for a month pointed it out.

    I’m not, it’s not a secret. As for deleted comments, they’re mostly just stuff I deleted because I forgot to double check a fact and realised I was wrong after posting

    I’m not crazy, we all agreed you are in fact the crazy one. Also MW2 lobbies were a different time…

    Minorly inconvenienced. A lot of comments riddled with typos appear, and I’m vulnerable to normal doxxing. I have a few spicy takes, but nothing that jeopardizes a relationship with anyone I’m not willing to confront about it. Still rather not be doxxed out of principle.

    Ah, my username is my legal name and there are pictures of me in my account. My username everywhere is my legal name, cause I think I lack imagination.

    So I guess I’m fucked exactly this much, which doesn’t seem like a lot.

    I generally get left alone. Everyone worries about their own personal problems enough to have time to bother someone random on the internet.

    Edit: if I post my address, someone’s gonna ring my doorbell and scare my birds, so you’re not getting it. I’m in the Portland metro area though.

    All that typing doesn’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you’ll understand that.

    Noooo it was sooo difficult to find how to delete my Facebook account. With warnings like “people losing Facebook often loose their social life, are you really sure?”. And now my nearly empty page is back you say? Cringe.

    But I’m not fucked, I try to treat people online like I treat people in real life, like I want people to treat me. I’m not scared of a heated discussion but I prefer to stay civil. So if people want to look me up, that’s fine, I make great coffee.

    I only have issues with people who do not respect my boundaries so I prefer to keep them out of my life. But my mom already knows where I live, so still no harm done when my address is posted online.

    I’ll have some explaining to do, but I guess since everyone will have their dirty laundry out in the open, people will get quite more open-minded.

    Also, people I care about know everything anyway.

    I’ll be okay.

    Not all that much, as I already use my real name. I tend to only post things that I believe in, and I’ve never really been one to hide my feelings from people.

    Meh. A whole bunch of cringe posts from twenty years ago will show how much I’ve grown since I was 19. Some more recent arguments I got tired of will rear their ugly heads. But I generally try to be the same person online as offline, and that person isn’t particularly controversial, at least around the circles I run in.

    But there would be a lot of people who would be in bodily danger.
