someone was being a dick to me and lecturing me about privacy. he posted A LOT of personal information on the threadiverse. all over his post history.
got tired of his shit and just responded with a ton of info about him that i gathered in like 11 minutes of looking at his post history. he reported me for doxxing and the mod sided with him.
it’s not doxxing if he posts it in a public forum, but okay.
Gathering the data in one easily accessible spot is still doxxing. Most doxxing info is just gathered through publically available data. Often harder to connect than just going through someones post history, but that is still easily on the side of morally fucked up.
I got banned from !politics@lemmy.world over this lol.
