Well don't let the opinion of a few internet nobodies stop you from acting if you feel like something really bad is about to happen. Remember that OldDirtyBtard announced his suicide in ED's chat and all of his friends egged him on "for the lulz" and then cried about it when he actually did it. Between that and getting called a moralfag I know which one I'd actually lose sleep over.
I feel like it’s also kinda hypocritical to say “don’t whiteknight, a-log, plan troll stuff, ect” but then go “by the way, here’s every single social media, address, phone number, ect that the lolcow has”. At this point, we’re encouraging people to contact and fuck with the people we have threads on.
I feel like the doxxing thing happens because it's "tradition". As in OG cows like Chris and Phil and Flynt all got doxxed. Thing is though is they were never "doxed" they just announced their addresses and phone numbers of their own free will because they're fucking idiots. Past few years though most cows don't do that shit, but Kiwis still find their dox through actual internet sleuthing and post em because it's funny I guess. Being mildly careless with your internet security isn't a lolcow trait, and my issue with doxing on the Farms is it's now a convenient and easy resource more nefarious lurkers will use.
Yeah, that’s what I was attempting to say with my post. Thanks for saying it better than I could.
I think it's a lot of fun to sleuth but I think people can get carried away and dump their whole file on relatively harmless lolcows. You gotta remind yourself that dating an antique fire hydrant is probably not worth doxing someone over if for no other reason than they might disappear from the internet and then we'll never get to laugh at them getting married and growing rusty together.
Yeah, I think that’s what bothers me at least in part. The level of the “lowlow-ness” vs how hard some users go after them. So guy going after his 13 year old niece is not the same level as a guy making dumb internet videos, yet some people treat them as the same.
The problem I see with doxing harmless cows, or ones that only sperg over the internet and are well adjusted irl is that I can imagine it'd be similar to a popular youtuber who has fans coming to their house. Doxing is a double edged sword for me, because although we aren't really liable for anyone that uses it to act out maliciously, I imagine most people who lurk only for a dox are too lazy to find it themselves, and there's always a chance someone might take something too far.
Doxing is never "needed" even when the cow is a dick. These are people who act like assholes on the Internet, not Osama bin Laden.
