Someone asked me a question and the system isn't working right? what up with lemmy

here’s the answer:

So the real question is how does/did the character called wootfatigue know my real name and phone number.

Not publically listed, not available in any conventional sense. How did that person know it?

Everybody is scared. No one will tell the truth. That’s why I have to have law enforcement involved.

I’ve also specifically noted that all posts I’ve made related to this issue have numerous “downvotes”

Is that because someones have something to hide?

Removing per rule #1

muddybulldog,

Can’t say why your other posts were downvoted because we don’t know what they are. Possibly people thought you were scare-mongering

If this happened, you’ve been doxxed.

You never provided that info to Lemmy & it’s not stored in Lemmy therefore it can’t be stolen from Lemmy.

Doesn’t mean nobody can figure out who you are based on your post history, comments or username.

jeffw,

This dude has spammed Lemmy with shit about a cabal of child porn. I think he’s sadly just unwell. He might be replying to one of my comments on his previous post by making this post. His last conspiracy post got deleted shortly after he answered me

It’s classic schizophrenia stuff, like talking with the FBI to report a specific person, but that person is actually someone else impersonating that other person (idk bro, I’m just repeating it)

muddybulldog,

Matches my initial vibe.

The only thing I can guess is that you have been doxxed. That usually happens when your data can be linked to you through either searching or analysis of the metadata of what you’re sending. I am sorry this happened to you because it is quite frightening. Despite our best efforts, the general rule of thumb is that anything you post is going to be very public and traceable. I am hoping that true end-to-end encryption to include metadata becomes a common solution soon.

The “doxxing” of me isn’t the big deal. I don’t give a shit, I’m untouchable IRL.

It’s lies that I don’t appreciate.

I don’t like trolls, liars or losers. I don’t like creeps who pretend to be others. I don’t like people who steal accounts, people who steal pictures and pretend to be them.

And there are a few, specific ones that infest rdrama and that’s what I intend to stop and expose with law enforcement help because I warned that I was going to do so and gave plenty of warning but it hasn’t stopped yet.

hystericallymad,

Ok hard ass

Unfortunately, this is the internet and assholes abound. I don’t like it either but at least the fediverse has a lot less of the asshole behaviors because the community is really quick to shut this kind of behavior down. Do what you feel you need to do. Personally, I don’t like getting involved with law enforcement because I don’t want to risk inadvertently incriminating myself. You have to remember that police are agents of the state, and in many cases, they act on behalf of the wealthy as well. Unless you are in a position of power or money, interactions with the police are fraught with risk. I should know first hand because it happened to me. I was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor for providing food for the homeless in a park.

Apparently, the city was really trying to get rid of the homeless people in the park so they set punishment as 30 days in jail. Thankfully, the judge saw the utter disconnect of being punished for providing a humanitarian services and dropped the charges. Furthermore, she did me a solid by ordering that my arrest record be court sealed so it would not come up in a background search.

mellokind,

I accept your point of view, but I come from a completely different background. I grew up with law enforcement officials, family members, friends. They’re not all bad. I know who to call when I need them.

And I have nothing to worry about “incriminating” myself. I don’t do anything illegal and keep records

I haven’t knowingly done anything wrong. At the time I was charged with a misdemeanor I did not realize that providing food and water for the homeless was a criminal statute. I will say there is a difference between a law enforcement officer and a peace officer. A peace officer is one who is public safety minded and not one who is looking/itching to trip somebody up. It sounds like those in your circle might actually be peace officers instead.
