"Doxing" in 2025

[BlackDragoons]

Info Dumping, 411 and Releasing the Receipts or RRing.

Scratchcarding is also one I was thinking of.

 

[Venial Sneeds]

How about the dossier? Sounds similar and I can still feel like a cool internet detective. "Exposing" makes me sound like a faggy drama Youtuber

Swapping Dox for Doss would be the easiest, quickest answer.

 

[Anti Snigger]

I'm going to call it "privacy pantsing" from now on

 

[Nigger Caviar]

Stalker Childing

 

[Schwarzwald]

Understood. Moving forward, I will only use the phrase identity consent accidents.

 

[xX_rAcE_wAr_420_Xx]

IMO it should sound as non-confrontational as possible. If you want a neutral term for researching and posting legal information, something like "phonebooking" conveys that tone even if it's a bit cumbersome.

LFJ can use "unmasking" because that entire enterprise is hostile to "bad people", but if the whole point of this is to make the farms seem as neutral as possible then that's the main priority for a term.

 

[gagabobo1997]

I mean the obvious solution to me is that we just don't need a term for it.
"I found his info online, here's his address..."
"He posted his name which lead to this phone number..."
"When i posted his info he got mad..."

 

[Forgot My Old Account :(]

Honeycombing fills in the liguistic gaps of Opsec Accident, I think they should both be used as appropriate.

 

[The Fatriarchy]

It's all well and good but we as a people have already done this song and dance. Words get redefined to be worse than they are, we have to move to other words. Those words get redefined and we have to change language again. It's a war that someone needs to fight rather than concede.

I think simply “archive” is the best alternative and accurately reflects the purpose of this website. Also works in that it can be both used as a noun and verb.

That's another thing I wanted to say. An archive needs to be accurate. Wordfilters make it less accurate. If someone posts in a quote, it needs to be that exact quote, not with phrases switched around and Chris faces put in.

 

[FailurePersonifiedV2]

Doxxing is a wonderful word and I hate that journos (read: demons) exist; they rape common language for fun and we are expected to sit and watch?

I suggest we use a degen term so that they latch onto that and accelerate the degradation of the common tongue once it has been adopted and twisted to mean something else. (Bonus points for causing them to sound even more retarded post adoption)
Why give them gold?!

So I propose “skibidi”
It’s already without any real meaning and seems to be a context sensitive word.

“Oh bros I got his skib”
“Skibidi added to OP”
“You fuckin skibbers skibbed me”

Alternate for the melons among us,
“Skiggers”; black skibbers. (Or lazy doxxers)

Warning! If adopted, “Rizzing his skib rn” will be something said at some point and it will make sense.

 

[Nigger Caviar]

"phonebooking" conveys that tone even if it's a bit cumbersome.

Perhaps we can say "phoning"
Or "booking"

Phooking even

 

[R00T]

Baked. It already has enough other connotation to slang that it would be difficult to put it into a bad light. You get baked when enough info is gathered, a subject is underbaked with minimal doxing info, over baked if info is incorrect/ an outright lie.

 

[YOU'RE TAKING TOO LONG]

Well, it's 2025, we could always be hip to the lingo of the current generation.

Deetsmaxxing
Diddylow
Drops/Drips
Sweep
Snook
Audit
Also, I remember when we used to call this "Getting Halal'd" but I suppose we can't go back to that because we don't want to be seen as a cyber variation of IS actors.
Kiwifarms, owned and operated by known IS Leader Joshua Muhammad Bin Moon, launches a jihad of Halal's on the innocent kaffir of the internet.

 

[Billy Bob Dick]

aren't we already using the word "archiving"?
If contact info is freely available online that's all it is anyway

 

[Snorky]

I think simply “archive” is the best alternative and accurately reflects the purpose of this website. Also works in that it can be both used as a noun and verb.

It doesn't really fit in with the act of dumping a cow's personal information and may cause some confusion.

How about "Offline info" (noun)
"Offlining" (adverb)
"Offlined" ( verb, past tense)

This sounds like a euphemism for inflicting harm on someone in real life. Would not go well for this site.

 

[Mondo Slight]

Let's get "Joshing" back in modern parlance. "Just Joshin' you"

 

[ToroidalBoat]

"Offlining" (adverb)
"Offlined" ( verb, past tense)

pointless trivia: The Cybrids (killer robots) use "offline" as a way of saying "kill", in Starsiege (a '90s vidya).

 

[SCV]

For the people suggesting "docs"/"docs-ing" and dossier(-ing?)/doss I like both of these but they're just too similar to dox. I'm coming around on infodump/dump because the noun form is sensical but it's still cutting it pretty close with dump vs. dox.
