I'm starting to realize that having a hidden power-level normie-tier social media presence would have a good utility. I missed out on 20 years of cover story by not playing that game.
GG itself is barely even 10 years old at this point, and that was the awakening moment for many here. So to have 20 years of foresight when the event was a decade ago is just impossible. Maybe some people were 'aware' in the early 2000's but that number of people would be very, very small.
Again. Not saying there aren't people. Just that the number of people, here, is a very, very low number. Anyone in that group is going to be a boomer (or older), or lucked into having incredibly based parents. Or maybe they're just hardcore autists obsessed with history. In any case, not common. The people here, in a GG forum, are going to be mostly people who became aware around the time of GG.
When did people forget to not attach their names to these accounts? Seriously, what in the fuck?
Don't get me wrong, this shit is insanely tyrannical, but once upon a time it was status quo to never put your personal information out there. Now everyone fucking does it and is baffled when it ends up being used against them.
Myspace well predates Facebook. FB might have helped further popularise the trend, but it wasn't the first, and I would argue not even the leading force. Maybe the largest, but not the leading. I'd put that blame at marketing firms that need and utilise user data for their services that corporations thrive off.
rant about putting a certain political figure in the wood chipper or claiming that trannies are ridiculous will get them a knock on the door from the police for hate speech or they'll claim they were making a threat.
It's worse than that. They're going to be going after anyone who doesn't praise the leadership hard enough and anyone that questions the narrative. It won't even have to be "trannies are absurd" when even "don't you think they're giving trannies a bit too much" is still blasphemous to the narrative.
Not really. I'd say a lot of this started to change in the late 00's, and there were plenty on the internet in the early 00's that knew about basic online safety. We can argue and split hairs that those people were less normie than most other normies, but at the end of the day the common belief was to be cautious on the internet. Now you're considered somewhat of a freak for not sharing everything.

Banks are bellends by default and for hiding all these suspicious state regulations which they use to try and justify there actions and it is not the only industry to do so.
If you absolutely can't stop yourself from posting on public social media, you have to do the kinds of things really paranoid camgirls do to avoid being ratted out by algorithms where they have different accounts in VMs with different VPNs/operating systems, run their posts through programs to rewrite them to evade automated grammar analysis or take the Bronze Age Pervert approach of developing your own pidgin dialect (this only works for 130+ IQ types), etc. This doesn't apply if you're a trans person, of course, you can openly post death threats and doxx people in that case and you'll be fine.

I don't think any of us could have predicted that things would get so ridiculously bad.
Except we did and all the normies now going "how could this happen?????" laughed at the "crazy doomsday conspiracy theorists".

Yeah it's a completely new phenomenon invented by the gamergaters, except for the whole "red scare" thing and a bunch of similar movements.

i simply thought facebook or rather its predecessor studivz was boring and from that on outright refused any and all social media.
imma claim it was because of stuff like this to sound smart irl though :D
Nah because no matter what you said it will be used against you.
2010: "I don't see color, I'm not racist"
2023: goes directly to jail for not seeing color and lifting up blacks

Facebook was what normalized the idea of self-doxxing social media.

Normies have zero sense of OpSec.
But they used to. It was once upon a time considered normal behaviour to not give your information to everyone you possibly could.
No, that was just the time before normies arrived on the internet.
Not really. I'd say a lot of this started to change in the late 00's, and there were plenty on the internet in the early 00's that knew about basic online safety.

You're describing the exact timeframe during which normies arrived on the internet.
Yes. I am. Because the point I'm making is that the early normies were conscious of online safety, and then they weren't.
Those weren't normies. The normie was never conscious of online safety.
Also, if you don't engage in social media, you are most likely a right wing nazi adjacent extremist.
Yep.. its like having some debt is better than no debt.
