Their lack of required information to dox me. The "worst" thing they have about me is my IP and what I post in this public forum, but it's not like they know my actual name or where I live or anything.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 53 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Wait what? My lemmy instance asked for my cc information, pictures of my documents and GPS access.

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 33 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Your instance didn't require a dick pic?

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

It's dick pic or all of that other stuff

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago (2 children)

You didn't have to send the stool sample in?

[–] moody@lemmings.world 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Can it be metal, or does it need to be wood?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

No, no. Here, hold still.

[–] MyNamesNotRobert@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 6 months ago

I had to send in a cum sample. More than one actually.

[–] neidu2@feddit.nl 13 points 6 months ago

I think you may have been scammed. Send me your CC info, and I will check it for you.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 6 months ago

fake.

you only need to provide a DNA sample.

the amount of false information on here.... smh

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They have more than that.

They have the times that you post. Your normal travel data. Types of devices or browsers you post from. What topics you post too. What individuals you communicate with.

I don’t know what they could do with this information, but we be shouldnt be ignorant of it.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

Aside from the types of devices or browsers you post from, all that is included in the "and what I post in this public forum" part the parent comment already mentioned.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Your name is Steven, and you live in Arizona.

[–] urquell@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Arizona? When did you move out of Chicago?

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 5 points 6 months ago

Yeah, nobody should be giving their personal information to any online services. The worst thing my instance admins could do is dox my IP (which doesn't even geolocate to the city I'm in) and my burner email.
