i don't understand the big deal about doxxing, personally. when i was a kid, i saw the internet as 'not real' and i treated people in such a way. it completely backfired on me(as it should've), because of course.. people are real. they have real thoughts, feelings, etc. everyone on the internet should act in a way that shows this, but they don't. we've tricked ourselves into thinking being on the internet means we have the right to anonymity and it doesn't. it shouldn't. everyone everywhere should be held accountable for their actions and words, especially if it's directly harmful to people and groups.

back on topic though, fuck bardfinn.

Because then people can stalk you or find a way to harass you on platforms other than reddit. It is a safety issue.

i get that, but people have gotten comfortable with harassing and stalking people BECAUSE of the anonymity. you take that away for everyone, you have considerably less instances of it. but i absolutely understand your point.
