Like even if they have nothing else they could just leak IP is there any law against it ? Or any technical aspect stopping them ?

An IP address by itself isn’t going to let you dox users unless you have access to the databases that map these to the subscriber accounts. Typically, you would need to be an ISP or law enforcement to do this, but you can also purchase this information from a data broker if you know what you’re doing.
With that said, there is absolutely nothing stopping the instance operator from getting your IP address. You’re connecting to his or her computer which they own, so they can easily see where you’re connecting from.
A notable way to protect against this is to use a VPN. Then the operator only knows you use a VPN.
Also need to be careful of what you write in comments (this is a public forum!). People sometimes write a surprising amount of detail about their life and it makes it much easier to narrow you down to a single individual the more you do it.
Eh, have faith in people
Even on Reddit, I was always 100% honest about living in Monetenagro as a Canadian Mexican immigrant. Sure life is busy as CEO of Disney but I always make time to attend a Lakers game with Leonardo DiCaprio when I’m visiting Panama.
But to comb thru a large account would take a bot to look for keywords and frequency mentioned.
So if you’re concerned about it, a less honest person could just randomly make outrageous but specific claims. Even when in the same comments and obviously contradictory, it would throw it off as long as you’re not constantly disclosing identifying information
That’s how I was able to become Batman and buy a house in Tokyo anyways
The biggest thing is don’t accidentally give away your security questions to reset passwords to anything important.
Ewwww ! Imagine having faith in people… gross !!
Yea after all that has happened you want faith GET RELIGION
I’m gonna put some dirt in your eye
Glad someone got the referance
It was always a concern for me, so I introduced some non-hurting lies into my replies. If they can see my IP after VPN it’s pointless, sure. But it’s a fun hobby to research and create a fake identity online.
