Woot, just walked a whole 1 mile (1.61 km) with the doggy girls.

The main reason I like to keep myself as anonymous as possible is the very fact that there are groups, often in the several hundreds but sometimes in the thousands that hunt zoos. 1 person looking to dox a zoo isn't much of a threat unless you really fuck up and make yourself exposed. But gather, say, 442 anti-zoos working together to find bits and pieces of information could in turn slowly make up the picture by adding a few pixels at a time, slowly but collectively. Eventually enough pixels could be found which allows the picture to be interpreted for what it is.

You might think I'm a little too paranoid, and maybe I am just a little... but it was due to tiny little, on the surface seemingly insignificant, pieces of information all shared amongst a large group of zoo hunters, all working together, which lead to the doxxing of Toggles the rat. It was also due to a large collective group that the person that went around violently assaulting people at Trump rallies was doxxed. He thought a face mask and heavy hooded clothing was enough, but enough people were determined to figure out who he was, and little by little the pieces added up until his true identity was matched.

It's cases like these which makes me a bit gunshy to share ANY information that could, on the surface, seem insignificant. But to someone malicious is merely a pixel they can they can add to the pool, eventually leading to the whole picture being uncovered. Me being an administrator on the largest zoophiles forum currently around would likely make me a pretty good target for such a collective attack.

Yes, as an administrator that might be quite right in terms of "being a target". But usually weather data has no real effect, if it isn't continuously monitored.

You know the removal of the flags by Shia LaB. aka the "HeWillNotDivideUs" event surely. With just one stand-still image which has not even any recognizable (weather / daytime linked) creation date of the file, people would not be able to find it precisely. Except if it's visible from outside, as once was the case from what I read about.

Always a high risk. Same as sexual activities with dogs in well-visible areas outside, that would be a bad idea.

About paranoia: as long as it's fact-based it's never paranoia. As the reasons exist. If you know the possibilities well enough, you are not paranoid to be cautious in their regards, as the possibilities are physically proven.

Instead those which ignore the risks (the most people, nowadays - unfortunately) and just click away "yes, I accept!" any time are actually the ones which I would say are at least unable to grasp those real risks. Or worse: they ignore high risks due to a wrong understanding of those. Or even worse: they ignore them willingly, because "doesn't matter" - which is as ignorant and - if not mentally challenged - at least dangerous as it gets.

But I am fine with whatever you decide in terms of personal data. I wouldn't post personal data which can lead to my recognizing as well, even if some of my pictures might seem like they could (they can't, as I actually photograph them on specifically set-up or common areas which are not usually existent and recognizable at my places).

Everyone has to decide themself how much care is relevant. And if I see people actually posting full body or face pictures of themself, even more in porn media.. that's like: "either it's not them (most of the time) or there's absolutely no idea to what this could lead".

And about the anti-groups: they are sometimes ways bigger. I'm in one which has a few thousand participants which collect snippets of data and even use AI recognizing for people which are not careful enough with personal body images. Like written: know your self-declared enemies.. it's important.

On the other hand it is for those really problematic to find data which is falsifying or raising the value bandwidth of specific data that could be linked to it, as it sets the level from "could be here" to "could be here.. and here.. and here.. and.. or even almost everywhere if the other values are as well not as accurate as they were thought to be, who knows".

As well there's basically no risk for me, aside from people personally attacking. Law? Not so much. But I still like my privacy very highly, that's for sure.

Welcome to the both lovely Yimby-Floof and Mrs Shemon! ? ❤️ ? :devilish:

At least one thing in this post is true. ?

Usually it's enough for me to give things which don't matter -that- much in their precise numbers a variety, no need to plain out state wrong ones. If it's that risky and I don't want to state it, I can just keep it to myself.

Like saying: I fly sometimes with a private plane. That's true. But I won't tell you which model it is or where it starts / lands.

I don't know if that is worth a "welcome".

You're worth a welcome. It takes more than a few pissed off people to change my impression and as such opinion.

A bear?! Where?!

It remembers me of a bear, aside the face. As such my first impression is always bear'ish ? while I know it must be a wolf.
I don't know that animation or comic.

Well, some laughed, some got pisssed, some got offended and some were indifferent.

A well-mixed result. People are different and know your online persona differently, as such no surprise.
But if people get angry about your mostly sarcastic and insult-free approach, that doesn't speak for their emotional stability.

I wish you a wonderful day without stress and with a lot of productive results for your own projects! (y)

.. I wish they'd stop mistaking him for Yogi Bear.

Hehe, Yogi looks different, that's for sure.
With the long snout as well as pointy ears, it could just be a canid. But the color-body-impression is a bit more bearish.

Anyway, welcome to the ?❤️? !

I'm off to work on the pumps, later floofers!

Ah, welcome to the lovely @Dogstudlover ! ? ❤️
