Due to the gestures broadly and also my own mid life crisis I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my online presence and that my opsec has been uh, bad.

If someone had motivation and a few hours it would not be that difficult to tie a bunch of my accounts together and make a portfolio of things I’ve said that could get me in some serious trouble.

I know at some level there’s only so much I can do, but I want to at least do the things I can. The ones I’m most worried about are this site, Reddit, Discord, and TikTok. Anyone know of tools I can use to help scrub those?

Also opsec tips for how to be better in the future

Delete dormant accounts that may have your info attached.

This is why I love "we've updated our privacy policy" emails. I get to rediscover and delete/deactivate/scrub old forgotten accounts.
