"Doxing" in 2025

[Desktop User2]

Just spoil the info under "info" on the forum.

 

[Akroateron]

On the one hand, I want the new term to be something pleasant, catchy, functional, and easy to comprehend. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind it being the gayest phrase imaginable to man and beast.

"Do not use the word Dox"

Aight Jersh. Fine.

Derivative of previous suggestions: docs

Uses identical pronounciation, indicates it refers to documents/documentation, and is a different but similar word.

I like unmasking, just because it might make people associate Dong-gone with harassing people. Which he already does. Use their language against them.

Everything that's old is new again.

I am skeptical it will make a difference. Changing the language won't stop the most damaging version of it being the one people use against you.

I can get from a legal standpoint you can claim " well we never dox". I just can't imagine anyone even in a court to give a shit. Surrendering language is like sucking cock. It isnt a one and done thing but the path to future compromises that make so much sense at the time.

Exactly, they'll just lie and play language games. Just like criticizing something is now "stochastic terrorism". They'll claim that phonebooking/shining/nigger-faggoting is a dog-whistle for evil doxing and harassment.

Although it may buy a bit of time while dear feeder gets some sort of payment in place to continue bankrolling legal defenses.

Instead of doxxing we just say “rape”.

Like yeah I just raped this dog fucker and now all his shit is on the Farms.

This makes sense. If we “rape” enough people, everyone will beg us to go back to “doxing”

I think journoscum and breadliners will try to turn any distinct common alternate term into a boogeyman term too, since semantic trickery is their main thing. So I'd say no fancy alternate words, I'd just call it something plain, like 'info'.

That's why I support rebranding doxxing as "redditing".

"Unmasking" or "Sunshining" sounds thematically more appropriate for the types of people that get covered here like Torswats.

Sunshining would be a hilarious one to adopt just because it sounds like a nice thing to do to someone. Sort of spins things around for us.

KF spreads sunshine!

Sunlight disinfects has always been a favorite phrase of mine, Florida seemed to use the term legislatively to good effect.

I just don’t know if it lends itself to natural lingo adoption, but it’s the best option for ironic comedy and it reee’ing about being sunshined would be great. (Bonus: the site that sunshines people is run by Mr. Moon)

The problem is that if the gubbamint wants, they can make any term offensive.

You can say you are documenting, and show receipt that the retards post their real names online. You can prove that they did this to themselves and it is all legal.

It doesn't matter. If the glowies want you, they get you.

This is just realism. The US government does not abide by any rules anymore than CHYNA or the Soviets did.

I feel sorry for Null, but if the glowies want to Trump up charges, they will do so. The feds got a sitting head of their elected government tried* for kangaroo court charges.
All the "rule of law" stuff is just window dressing for normies and doesn't ack-ually apply.

I want to help Dear Feeder and say I got a solution, but I don't.

*Edit: I'm not just shitting on the US. Germany and Romania are going balls deep too, Romania just invalidated an election because they didn't like the result.

Problems with the government are usually downstream of public perception (see the recently 10th circuit decision in the greer case). This change is aimed at public perception.

 

[Lian Xing]

Correct, but you're still using a word that has a criminal definition, which implies intent. Get it??? If you shoot someone in self-defense and say "I murdered him", guess what???

It has a criminal definition after the fact. I tried to be less of a faggot and read the OP again. I see your point, but I don't like it.

 

[RiceofSkywalker]

I suggest branding. Hear me out:

• similar enough in meaning to dox / identify;
• cow/cattle-themed;
• harder for the establishment to vilify the term because of its current meaning/usage in marketing;
• cool factor: from German brennen, to burn.

 

[karz]

I like the words "Disclose / disclosure." They roll off the tongue fairly easily and aren't inherently hostile like "Unmasking" or "Deanonymize."

 

[Fenrir Ratatoskr]

Why not make the word filter automatically rename doxxing to the chosen replacement? Then, no one can bitch, and we solve the problem.

 

[Windy Moors]

Unmasking feels right and will annoy Erriot the yellow peril.

 

[dvorak]

That's why I support rebranding doxxing as "redditing".

There's also similar Latin forms if copyright concerns are real.

What's the point of adding IRL info of lolcows here anyway? All it does is make the site an easy target.
I get following them through their foibles online, that's the point of the gossip forum, however adding personal information like addresses, workplaces, and other such information can be taken as a tacit approval or a nod and a wink to harass them in real life, even if not meant as such. This site does become an easy target for providing such information, especially since normies won't know doxbin etc., but do know "the notorious doxxing site" Kiwifarms. I mean anyone who wants can find that information but providing it openly does ask the question; Why?

For me, it’s because I insist upon calling trannies by the name their parents gave them.

This reminds me, when my old (dead of TDS) forum needed a replacement term, they borrowed a funny literal translation from a foreign language.

Norwegian: Doksing
French: Doxage
Portuguese: Doxagem, Doxação

I feel like the Soyteens on the ‘Harty would like “Doxagem” (huehuehuehue). I’m partial to “doksing” because it lets me say what I want without Elliot shoving his brick face through my screen. Doxage makes it sound fancy. Like, “you know what they call doxing on the Kiwi Farms? Le doxage royal”.

 

[PhoBingas]

I'm partial to "phonebooking", but it might be too violent for some people and might conjure up visions of us making plans to beat lolcows with phonebooks. Unmasking and exposing might be better, catch-all terms.
