I have been using EJMR for over a decade and now I am constantly fretting over whether I ever posted anything that can be considered inappropriate. I am sure I have not but my problem is that I have severe anxiety issues. Even minor things keep me up at night and this one certainly has. Is this a joke to the authors? If they are running an experiment then they should be held responsible for causing undue stress and anxiety to people like me. If this is a real study, then they should post it so that we can see how many privacy laws have they violated. They need to stop acting like this paper is a big budget movie that everyone has been waiting for and they would release trailers of it.
I am beyond pi$$ed off at this paper/tweet

I’m in the same boat. I just get drawn into arguments on here and actually find myself fighting against the racist and sexist posters. Honestly, I spend way too much time on that.
But it looks like these guys are just going to post universities where users post a lot from. I’m the only reasonable candidate at mine. So I’m going to lose everything all because of low impulse control, despite my agreeing with the authors that the toxic content needs to stop.
I couldn’t sleep last night. Lost my patiencr with my dog. Wife couldn’t figure out why I was such a wreck, and I was embarrassed to say I might lost my job because I’m very online, so she’s still lost.
There’s a lot of collateral damage they’re not being considerate of.

Bros, they trained an LLM on EJMR content and then asked "EconGPT" to predict where posts are from.
Maaaaaaaaybe Kirk hashed IPs to 4-character hex, and they reverse engineered the algorithm by posting a bunch themselves.
But I bet their method is highly error prone, so they will only make broad statements like "Harvard posters are nice, but MIT posters are misogynist." They know this and will not go after any individual. But, others are not so smart and think the witch hunt is on.

There’s a lot of collateral damage they’re not being considerate of.Their goal is to make you irrationally afraid. They enjoy causing pain. Don't let them - there is nothing wrong with posting on an online forum. Even if your employer strongly disliked something you wrote, they are very very unlikely to fire you. This is all assuming that, beyond all possibility, they can tie you individually to specific posts.
Don't let these creatures cause this much suffering. Best to just ignore them.

I work in a small LAC with very few faculty members and for sure I will be doxxed. Although I mostly post in econometrics sub forum, people will just assume I post bad stuff. I am so afraid the paper would ruin everything for me. I’ve been crying all day since the release of the paper yesterday. :-( these people are so evil and how’s this acceptable? :(

Sue him for causing you anxiety. It is the American way.

This "in two months we will doxx you..wink wink nudge nudge" is extremely unethical way of doing research. I am sure that a lot of people who never posted a single negative thing in their like are still scared because of the potential stigma of association. Creating drama like this, when all we know that they have aggregate data, is detrimental to mental health of many.

That's exactly my point. They're creating this drama for nothing. I bet they're spending their day enjoying all the posts here about them all the while causing panic and stress.
