The tool didn’t work as well as I expected. It claimed to have found the username I entered on 40 websites, but when I followed several of the provided links, they led to 404 error pages.

Doesn't this subaddress all just resolve to the same account? The accounts are free, so just make up a completely different account. Yeah, it might get a bit of a mess for a user to manage, but that's what password managers are for. let's face it, we're not talking about Joey Beercan doing this. Anyone even tossing around the term SecOps is already moved out of mass populace and into the somewhat informed. Someone pr…
Gmail accounts aren't free: I believe they only allow up to 4 to be linked to the same phone number (which is mandatory). Microsoft is worse: they'll let you create an account, then lock it the next day, after you've already used it for something, if you don't link your phone number. Phone number is used because it costs money to get, is hard to get in bulk, and in many countries is always tied to your identity. I wo…

I thought canceling never stopped. It was just politically motivated. (Ironically, Dems eat their own for that stuff, so maybe "politically motivated" doesn't quite capture it... compare e.g. Al Franken and Katie Hill vs Roy Moore or Matt Gaetz)
Democrats cancel and Republicans mostly double down. I don’t think there is anything Trump can do at this point to horrify or even just dissuade his base, for example.

Yes, another thing you can do is use email subadressing for every account you create, ideally with a non-default separator (i.e., not "+").

It just so happens that email servers tend to recognize the usage of "+" as a "tag" and route incoming mail using the tag to the root email that precedes the plus and tag.
But, as the sender, you cannot assume that this is always the behavior. You must assume that those are two different emails.
So what's a non creepy use for this?
Is it creepy if you google a job candidate?
If you're trying to figure out anything about me from social media or other such random web pages, I don't care to have anything to do with you, and I don't care what you're led to believe about me. I suppose this is born of privilege, but the only contacts I care to make are directly via people I already have a relationship with.

This is why I try to use the same name across websites. I want to be identified as the same person. Just resist the urge to post information you don't want others to have.
> Just resist the urge to post information you don't want others to have. Self-censor you mean? I personally like that information anonymous account `William Shakespeare` posted around 1585–1613.

Doesn't matter for the next day's witch hunt They are just gonna make fake accounts that look like yours and shitpost ahead anyways. Social media has multiple problems, including authenticity, transparency, validity and verifiability. All of which don't exist and make it the optimum propaganda machine (referring to the criteria that Chomsky described) because it can be corrupted through multiple attack vectors. If we…
A state funded platform with a focus on authenticity, transparency, validity and verifiability, is the best thing against censorship? I don’t get how.

Or better yet, be extra privacy conscious with everything you do.
I strongly suggest the opposite. Collect everything and do on a personal site, do good seo on your pages, expose your content. Go totally anon for anything you don't want exposed of course. But you should expose as much of yourself as you're able and control the conversation.

The secret is multiple accounts. I too have a Brand Name Account(tm) I like to float around but it sure as heck isn’t this one. Doing the multiple account thing isn’t as easy as it sounds though. Some sites like Reddit make switching between accounts incredibly easy while others aren’t so much. Plus laziness kicks in and soon enough your Brand Name Account gets tainted and you have to consider taking it out back to t…

> "I don’t think there is anything Trump can do at this point to horrify or even just dissuade his base, for example." Pretty sure it's pretty close to true at this point that he actually could get away with literal cold-blooded murder in public at this point and his cult would fold themselves in half backwards tryin' to justify it somehow.

I mean, he supports the Gaza situation.
