    The people who stalk me online and fantasize about killing me are the bigger issue than my family etc finding out (who already know about my lifestyle). However, it would be extremely hard for them to physically locate me regardless and even harder for them to actually harm me so whatever, I'm not cool with it but it probably wouldn't impact me

      I don't think anyone would really care but me and mainly because I'm kinda shy.

        With my family/peers - not at all.

        With psychopaths in power and their supporters/goons - mildly to very.

          No one cares. Not a single person has attempted to look me up; at least no one who has admitted it.

          Cant imagine anyone who knows me bothering to look through much. I have had accounts where it certainly would be a problem if they were just widely known to belong to me, but even then there's a couple irl people who know of them and haven't bothered trying to look through it.

          if we were just talking about this account being widely known to belong to me, the biggest change would be getting outed as trans at work. Not exactly sure how well that would go.

              I've already been completely screwed before Lemmy. At this point, all that could happen is me getting unscrewed.

                My manager would ask me: "You do not like it here? What are all those memes, videos about "Corporate life" you are posting?. + People would think that I hate everyone...

                    I wouldn't be arrested, but I'd definitely be on some watch lists

                      in my case they'd be right.

                      I don't discriminate, if you exist I really don't care for you.

                        I'd say there is, maybe, a thin line between I dont care and I hate. The core is still the same, I presume: "You do you. I do me." Just different feeling involved.

                            Technically it kind of already is. My username is the one I've used with little variation for 13 years, including my youtube and my website where I show my face. Everyone I know IRL knows my username, some of my friends even call me Spatchy and it would feel weird if that particular group didn't (to the point I occasionally have to remind them it's not my real name).

                            I'm still weirdly obsessed with not sharing my data with companies even though more of it is public than is probably sensible.
