A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

So... avoiding mentioning the company name will help an individual if they're doxed while talking about it?
Do you really believe this?
Yeah it's not like these companies that do shady/illegal shit to save money go out and hire the best PIs and exCIA ops to find people who shit talk them. They use google and type in their business name with an extra word or two about their bad actions to find people who shit talk them.
"It's not like"
Just say they do. Don't try to beat around the bush. Don't play leapfrog with yourself, lol.
Just be direct about what you want to say. Own it.
You'll come off as less pretentious.
If an account posts enough vague info, eventually when you piece them all together they're not so vague anymore.
That's not even close to that I said.
If you say a bunch of things that would get you in trouble on your anonymous account, then over a period of time say enough other things to dox yourself, all your old account content is still there. Over time a little slip here, a little slip there. You put enough pins on the board, someone can find you, hell you might even accidentally talk about something unique. Happens all the time.
It's a risk for no good reason. Your're taking the risk so that some other nameless person on a social media instance can go ohhhhhh that company did bad things.
Sorry, I didn't read any of that.
