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.)

No one would notice or care… 1/10 🙂

Same. The most surprising thing might be that I even have accounts online. And that I love pictures of scrungy cats.

I tend to enjoy being devil’s advocate on controversial subjects so I’d score a 9/10 fucked through sheer misinterpretation

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

My real name is so generic, even if I doxxed myself you wouldn’t find me anywhere.

I worked with a John Smith who came from Chicago. He would joke about hiding from the mob. At least I think he was joking…

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.

You could take permanent sanctuary in a health food store or a gym.

Whether or not I am anonymous does not change how/what I post. I also never delete any so nothing changes regarding that too. Cringe to be acting uncivil because you have a mask.

Facts. I’ve been posting exclusively as Postmortal_Pop on every platform I’ve been on since 2010. If someone wants me, they’d be downright incompetent if they couldn’t find me. That’s my name as much as my real name.

You should never post anything online that you wouldn’t be comfortable shouting at the top of your lungs in the middle of your hometown.
