I wish it were easier to maintain anonymity with indexing. Like it's weird that you can easily find people's archive of TikTok comments on Google, but in the app you can't see them.
Likewise if there were a way for posting stuff without making it easy for malicious actors to look at your whole post history to piece together who you are.
Yeah, this is actually a big worry to me, on Reddit especially because I think it would be easy (if not easier) to find out info about me by the subreddits I was active in
But it's also nice to have stuff indexed in Google when looking up product reviews and technical issues, etc. - it's a double-edged sword.
Ideally it'd be possible to make some comments pseudonymous at least (so only instance admins, or possibly community moderators could see the real author).
Yeah it's a hassle to have to create alt accounts.
