All good stuff.

What are your thoughts on deliberate disinfo? Of course never giving any personal info, but "letting slip" a few fake personal details once in a while. Once in a long while posting in a sub for people who live in a certain city which you have never even visited, but does match your time zone and thus posting timing. This is just for the social media activists who go through your post history hunting for clues.

Typically if people are going to be doing open source intel gathering they aren't usually combing through your comments, they'll take the quickest way to find where/who you are which will be matching up phone numbers, emails, and physical addresses anywhere they are listed.

LE involvement would be a different story though and they wouldn't need your comments to find out who you are anyways unless they are building a case with your comment history.
