When someone messaged me with a number of personal details about me. I realized that I'd posted too much personally about me and used the same username everywhere.
Yeah, doxing scared me. I run a large gaming community on Discord and back then, I got paranoid about my personal info getting out. I made a whole persona based off a movie character with his own Instagram profile, address, and separate timezone I had to play by. It was a fun project, but it worked.
