OK, does anyone know whose photos are being taken and spread all over the Fediverse? (lemmy.world)

Yeah, the possibility that this is someone being doxxed is something that’s bothered me as well. I’m not sure what the objective would be, to get the person pictured in trouble with their school/employer? Incite others to call and complain about them? The photos and details given aren’t particularly embarrassing or something that would whip up a mob, which is why most everyone is just confused about it. Maybe I’m missing something obvious.

Some doxxers will share personal information in a way that looks innocuous even though their intentions are not good, since a portion of the definition of doxxing involves sharing that type of information with malicious intent. Perhap by repeatedly spamming the Fediverse they are hoping that people will unknowingly take their anger out on the person the accounts are impersonating by contacting her workplace.
