"Doxing" in 2025

[( ◠‿◠ )]

So when do we get rid of "nigger" and "faggot" too? I mean those hardly help the site either.

I will suggest "laundry airing" from the classic idiom "airing your dirty laundry".

What about just "airing" for short?

For cases intended for intimidation, how about "sunshine into silence" instead?

Example usage: I'm going to sunshine him into silence.

I still don’t understand why lolcows and their families get all butthurt over having their "receipts" shared when most of them post it up on public websites such as phone listings, social media ect.

i think it is less to do with the phone number being out there and more the a-logs who harass them. i personally wouldnt have a problem with my phone number being on this or any site if i knew for a fact that the a-logs and trannies wouldnt mess with me. if i never got any harassing phone calls, then why would i care if my number is out there?

this isnt to say i am blaming the farms, since plenty of places such as discord/twitter/bluesky/etc have people sharing phone numbers/email/social media leading to a-logs harassing lolcows. yet somehow only the farms ever gets yelled at for doxing. funny how that is

Phonebooking is great, of them all it feels the most intuitive and natural as a replacement in my opinion, despite its length.

I've been on the fence for "phonebooking," mostly because the past-tense sounds clunky. For example, "They were phonebooked within 10 minutes of making their post." just doesn't flow IMO. But, in the interest of brevity, it could be shortened to "'booked" instead. "They were 'booked immediately." has a nicer ring to it.

I personally prefer either "indexed" or "documented," as they don't sound like faggy zoomer speak, and they accurately describe the action without having any negative connotation. But if "phonebooked/'booked" became the norm, it's certainly not the worst option.

*Also, apologies for any redundancies, but I'm not reading an entire 60-page thread on this topic, lol.

Kinda hard to get rid of it when the use of the term is still hardcoded into the website itself.

I will say NIGGER and I will say FAGGOT and there is nothing you can do about it.

I prefer "Deanonymize" or even "Infodumping", it just sounds better off the tongue.

Honestly, after seeing people use "phonebook" around the site a bit more since this thread was made, I do think it looks completely natural now, and I'm totally on board with it. Hopefully it catches on.

it works, I just think it's going to be a little confusing when we use "booking" as shorthand for "phonebooking".

Yep, I agree. After living with it, "phonebooking" is just fine.

It's doxxing Always will be. My bud has a literal FBI handler. It doesn't matter what you call it legally, they still know what it is

 

[demicolon]

I remember "pwned" used for that in times long long ago before Something Awful sank beneath the waves. Sounds cooler to me than the gay ass "phonebooking".

 

[Neodanthril]

I propose it be called "clorping"
