How much could someone learn about your personal life from your questions and answers on Fluther?

1 Answer

Answer :

I think that if someone I knew stumbeld across Fluther they would figure me out. Also, if I met someone new and told them I’m on Fluther, they could get nearly my whole life story. I am not ashamed of anything I’ve shared here… and that’s been practically everything. I suppose an industrious and resourceful stalker might be able to dig up more… but then again, that’s probably true of nearly everyone.
