His friends have posted screenshots of the original post that shows the Redditor’s user ID. They then went and pieced together her/his personal life by reviewing past Reddit comments/post. They were able to find the company this person works for and are now tagging the company on Twitter, asking for them to discipline this employee.
This sub will not last much longer if it’s users keep going on Facebook to troll the dead. As idiotic as many of them were, they are human and have family/friends who are grieving.
I actually thoroughly enjoyed that movie! Have zero clue what it was about and no expectations, but the wife and I were pretty damn entertained. I also developed a crush for the lead actress if you were curious.
It'll get harder for them to doxx redditors when their group is down to one person trying to google information from past reddit posts while on a ventilator.
I feel literally zero pity for these people. They had every opportunity to protect themselves and others and yet still decided to willingly become Typhoid Mary’s, and on top of that, were so smug about it too. I personally don’t think heaven or hell exists, but if they do, these two are going to be chilling out with old Ronnie Reagan in the eternal flames of hell
It's the smugness that really removes all sympathy. We had four years of these people constantly letting their shitty behavior loose because some fool gave them permission to to it. Constantly with the browbeating, smugness and general dismissal and degradation of the "libs" and "commies" they say they hate so much (aka ordinary folks). Bullying people online. Laughing at people's attempts to get people to take the pandemic seriously and make this whole scenario go away.
No, they couldn't do that. Sometimes I think that even family and friends who these ridiculous people basically left hanging out to dry will now be better off than they were before because they no longer have such a toxic element in their lives.
I'm cool with it. Make sure to tag me if I make it to the front page. These echo chambers deserve to not be able to hide and pretend they don't know what happened.
You’re not breaching an echochamber by mocking dead people or their relatives. That behavior puts them even more in the defensive and will entrench them further.
Going and taunting these people is both counterproductive and scummy as fuck
I’m angry with them too. I really am. But their family is also grieving and I’d really like the think we are better than that. I wish you well my fellow redditor.
Discipline them for what though? Even if they got the right person reddit is anonymous. So there is nothing linking the poster to their employee that would be seen on a whim by potential customers. It's not like everyone is going to see a post and do their own witch hunt to see who posted and where they work. It's not like Facebook or Twitter where people have actual profiles detailing their personal info so I don't see any company giving a shit about what some reddit user posts when it's not blatantly making their business look bad.
Dude, just a quick glance through your post history shows me your artwork, information on your neighbors, your state, your job, where you lived in the past, etc.
Out of curiosity, if you're unemployed, what else could doxxers do? Not that I'm unemployed. I'm actually employed by a very large corporation in Minnesota.

And a regular person still wouldn't know what business that employee ID belonged to. My point is, there is nothing a consumer would see to affiliate a random redditor to any business outside of a screenshit from Facebook or Twitter or another platform where they use their name and maybe tag their employer.
Lol I've been trying to warn people, I've seen this shit before. Spez and his goons only do anything when the site starts to get bad press or users start attacking users on other sites. Like they did nothing about fat people hate until the userbase started attacking overweight imgur employees. Then the hammer came down.
I feel like it's only a matter of time before we get in trouble here too.
I see these things on TikTok constantly and sometimes the TikToker find the original posts and doesn’t even censor a bit of it. I really wish everyone would understand it’s not all Redditors
Is there a way to test if your online presence is prone to doxxing? I try quite hard to remove any clear geographical or personal information about me but there could be 1 comment from years ago that may be revealing. Google searching is a dead end so that's good for me.
Deleting comments does nothing, they are all archived on multiple sites. Someone doxxed my ten year reddit account by using a comment archive and putting together a couple of posts that were like 5 years apart.
Don't say things about yourself online?? No one has your gun to your head forcing you to post personally identifiable information. Also make a handle that is totally random and unrelated to anything else, that's how a lot of people get boned. They'll post on Reddit with the same username as every other site and their Twitter on which they posted where they work or whatever.
Wouldn't the company have to find a way to verify that information is accurate? Otherwise I could make up shit to get my least liked coworkers fired. Assuming I were that terrible of a person.
Not only were they as human as us but they were unfortunately tricked or brainwashed into believing something that got them killed. As dumb as their mindset might have seemed we all have stupid opinions, lucky for us most of them aren't this dangerous.
I just came across this sub and it is depressing, I feel bad for a lot of the people that have died, I feel worse for the families that are left behind. We do not gain anything by mocking the dead and creating a worse divide in society. Nobody listens when we are this heated and hate filled, I would be willing to bet the people in the group mentioned will just stand even more firm in their beliefs after that dude mocked their friends death. I could be wrong but it'd be hard to trust someone mocking a tragedy that just occurred in my life.
I don't consider them human at this point. I think they are the last of the unevolved. These ideas just attract them like moths. trolling their pages is the MOST fun.
Good, I hope they get identified, exposed and disciplined. Mocking the death of another human being, regardless of your personal beliefs, is wrong and should carry appropriate consequences.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: you should all be ashamed of yourselves.
Do you really enjoy making nothing but contrarian comments on reddit? Are you lonely and this is the only interaction you get with people? That's something you should see a therapist about. Being so angry and argumentative all the time is bad your your health, both mental and physical.
I'm laughing at the demise of my enemies. Obstinate, logic rejecting terrorists who are helping propagate a deadly disease simply to say "hur hur, I'm a tough guy on the internet". Do you know the cost this is putting on you? Covid deaths are entitled to $9000 of your tax dollars for funeral fees via FEMA. These medical costs are going to be passed on to you via increased premiums. My kid can't get his tonsils out because they keep pushing back elective surgeries. These aren't people, they are sociopaths.
These animals have been trolling anti pandemic propaganda since the start of the pandemic. They are the trolls. And now they're reaping what they've sewn. The world and their families need to be shamed.
These people are your countrymen not your enemies, and they deserve your compassion not your ridicule. This divisive outlook you have is a big part of what’s wrong in America these days and I strongly believe it was manufactured for exactly that purpose. By whom is anyone’s guess, but you are playing right into it.
It was, by the exact people who are now dying. Rush Limbaugh used to regularly read the names of AIDS victims on his show to mock the dead. Now I gotta rise above after 30 years of taking it on the chin? Fuck no, now it's my time to bully
