"Doxing" in 2025

[Moss Monster]

I enjoy sunshining, honeycombing, and phonebooking most.

Dossing/ddosing is already shorthand for committing a denial of service/distributed denial of service attack, which is generally illegal. We definitely shouldn't switch to saying we're dossing people.

First guess and I've already fucked it up!

Unmasking seems like the most straightforward one. I like how phonebooking/whitepaging implies how it's all public anyways. But unmasking already works as a verb and is self-explanatory.


Edit:

The longer I think about it, phonebooking might be the only one that gives the connotation Null is looking for. If the entire point of switching away from doxing is to distance us from the idea of obtaining info via unscrupulous means, phonebooking does that the best.

I like "phonebooking", personally, because it conjures the image in my head of a 1930s detective beating the absolute dogshit out of a suspect with a phone book.

In our case, though, the metaphorical suspect more often than not authored and then published the phonebook. And it's not really a phonebook so much as it is the War and Peace of degeneracy, written in crayon, in a Lisa Frank trapper keeper.

Why did that one guy link to this thread in the community happenings thread, it's already featured

Just in case it happens to "drop off" the list for whatever reason. Not saying it's going to happen, but you never know. Also, some people ignore the featured list.

Oh, and there's the fact that Null likes to say "dawxing" on his podcast.

"Sunshining" is positive and cute. I like it. "Phonebooking" is probably the best suited for the intent.

"Googled"

“Wiki”

I like receipts. It makes sense. You get a receipt when some creep is being difficult, to prove/disprove something.

In agreement but I prefer some made up word. 30 years ago, you can't find the word "doxxing" in the dictionary but you can then as you do now are able to find the word "receipt".

I prefer to use the word "ebedence" or "ebedence coreletting" "ebedence corlekshun" in loving memory of Kenny Jones who is still alive and well by the way. @Kenny🐍Jones

I think it should be 6 to 8 letters and focus on something related to delivering pizza.

 

[AnOminous]

I like "unmasking" specifically because it's the one troons use for doing EXACTLY what they accuse us of doing.

Lmao did I "dox" you? No, you just claimed to be really rich and then here's the picture of the trailer park you live in.

Did I "dox" you? No, I just noticed you are on the sex offender registry.

Did I "dox" you? Of course not, I would never do something as vile as "dox" someone. But didn't you threaten to rape someone on Twitter in 2009 despite now pretending to be an ardent feminist?

I just "unmasked" you. What? What's wrong with that?

 

[Pope Urban]

Documenting sounds too much like a euphamism, I like Phonebooking. Using LFJs own term sounds like it'd get under their skin, too

 

[Chuck Chudjak]

Nutting

"I just found this nigga's nuts!" *posts picture of the niggas house*

"This nigga just got nutted on the sharty"

 

[stares at error messages]

"posting receipts" or "deets"

works for me.

 

[Greasy Goblin]

Some of you are just retarded. Imagine this: The definition of saying "enjoy prison'" is legally enshrined as an actionable threat of "I am going to kidnap you and put you in a rape dungeon and grind you into niggeroni not in minecraft", for some fucking reason. Null asks you to stop saying "enjoy prison" because it can easily be used to put a target on him and users, compelling him to provide info to the feds at their request as you are stating your intention to commit a violent crime, and he is hosting that threat. This isn't some "woke null censorship" or caving to the vocal left or some shit, this is to avoid legal problems. Can you read? yes it's fucking dumb and nobody agrees with it, but we're talking a legal issue here.

 

[Sooty Soot]

We should call it Mooning cuz we're heckin' exposing something private to the world and also because of Jersh's name

 

[UERISIMILITUDO]

I hate descriptivists.
I hate descriptivists.
I hate descriptivists.

This is lunacy. Anyway, both uncovering and revealing have a nicety about themselves.

 

[AnOminous]

Documenting sounds too much like a euphamism, I like Phonebooking. Using LFJs own term sounds like it'd get under their skin, too

Personally I prefer "SUPER MEGA ULTRA DOXED FAGGOT SUCK IT DOWN BITCH" but whatever, I don't run the site.

You can do better than the exact terminology your enemies are demanding of you.

For the sake of balancing my complaints, I'll offer solutions.

"Documents" or "dos." "Documents" is the unabbreviated version of "dox." "Dos" is an abbreviated version of "dossier," and it's only 1 letter difference. Both options accomplish the mission of using a new word while also highlighting the futility and hypocrisy that comes from changing the word in the first place.

You put this next to the d*x and nobody can get too mad:

 

[AnOminous]

Sunshine is the best disinfectant. And who could object to a disinfectant other than a pathogen?

 

[Amateur Shoelace Tyer]

I like just saying "looking someone up" or "I looked them up" because that's all it really is
