If you don't want to give the specifics for whatever reason, that's fine. But don't act all smug about it.
I can't discuss some of the specifics of the situation because some of the information may still be out there while search engines update and whatnot. What it comes down to is someone noted in another Discord that Jackrip was actively talking about doxxing me using my digg account. Legality is correct that I had personally identifying information on that account;
however, that information being accessible and me being doxxed are mutually exclusive.
Using info I posted about myself would be just telling everyone that information. The info in and of itself is sensitive but not enough to explicitly identify me. If I had posted my workplace and address somewhere, that would have not been doxxing.
Using that info to find more information about me
is doxxing. If Jackrip had taken that info and used it to find out where I work or my address, for instance, that would be considered doxxing.
Either way, the rule applies because you're not allowed to mention you're going to do it even in a joking manner.
tl;dr Yes, my dumb ass posted identifying information in a public area (please feel free to mock me for this) but it could have been used to find further information which would have been considered doxxing.
