    But I really don’t think Lemmy is big or widespread enough for people to recognize each other based on random info and a username.

      Doxxing generally happens because someone wants to identify you, not because random people accidentally figure out who you are. A doxxer will attempt to extract details from your account’s comment history and see if you have other accounts based on username or specific references.
