I know that generally there is a practice of deleting Lemmy/reddit account every 6 months to avoid being Doxxed.

But curious to see how often people do this?

    It’s easier on reddit because you can make throwaway accounts without an email. Most lemmy instances require email verification so there’s more effort needed to create accounts. I assume a lot of users here prefer to just not share personally identifiable information, or at least use 2 or 3 “permanent” accounts to separate anonymity, personal stuff, and nsfw.

      People that post personally identifying information on accounts used to discuss illegal things or view porn blow my mind.
