I think making Poal easily accessible for unpilled normies is the point of a free speech forum
remember that redditors are as racist/intolerant as anyone else, they are just choosing to hide it. They proved this by researching people's unconscious reactions to say interracial couples.
If they are here then it's a moment for them to taste the freedom of thought, before they have to go back to their reddit gulag to pretend to be outraged on the behalf of their useless violent pet subhumans again.
The flip side is I can write a script to hit multiple sites to look for a username that's reused across platforms. If I am an HR recruiter I might want to see if dampcat has accounts on FB, Reddit, Twitter, poal, and other sites, as well as what they might be saying.
Additionally - imagine a reddit NPC coming here to look for their next cancel culture victim. The script above might provide enough linking info to determine an employer to harass.
That's a certainly a possibility that new members should be aware of, certainly I've only used 'dampcat' on here and I borrowed it from a liberal on another forum, so I'd be amused if he gets some misplaced grief.
I'd imagine an AI with enough global data could easily match my writing patterns and personal stories to other forums though
I've looked up names before so it's certainly possible to pinpoint some careless people, especially those using their real name and job
Or not using a VPN - I point my VPN to the USA to make it less obvious. Today I am from CA, tomorrow CO!
