There used to be a really niche version of this idea back in the day created by _why the lucky stiff in the ruby programming community. It was called hoodwink'd, at the time it felt like the way of the future, like a mobile underground peanut gallery. _why was doxxed and nuked his online presence before it ever took off

Did they ever ask why they got doxxed?

Edit: wooooosh
