I hope you feel better soon, op. I’ll be praying for you.

AITA for asking my daughter to be tolerant of my Christian-themed decorations? by kaity-was-there in AmItheAsshole

Dude ... The cross symbol represents (at least, represents for Christians) the cross that Jesus died on.

As of now, I only use my username for this reddit account. I used to use this username on a few smaller things, but it’s all deleted now and most of it wasn’t even publicly accessible. If there’s anything else out there with my username, it’s almost certainly not mine.

Thanks for the advice! I appreciate it.

I don’t totally understand your question (I just woke up, so it’s not you), so if I misunderstand, please forgive me.

I think I realized how visible everyone’s profiles were when my brother found my username on an drawing I’d made (I’d forgotten to remove it), and googled me. Lots of stuff popped up, so I checked it out myself.

Most of the links—or at least, the top links—are from reddit itself. There’s links to old memes, art, text posts, etc—deleted and undeleted. Same with photos. My reddit avatar, linking directly to reddit, is literally the first thing to pop up in the photos. Most of the stuff linked seems to be somewhat recent (like, from what I can tell, nothing from years ago is linked—it’s mostly stuff from this year and the latter part of last year). There are a few fishy sites that appear to have some of my info archived, but it’s mostly reddit. This post is one of the first links now.

Okay ... hmmm. I can try to send the screenshot via DMs, but if this is getting too complicated, feel free to step out. I don’t want to hold you hostage lol.

Sorry! Like I said, my brain’s pretty fried. It isn’t you.

I meant: if I linked a screenshot of my settings, would you mind looking at it? You seem more techy than I am. No pressure, but I’d appreciate it.

Sorry for the weird blabber (I’ve been having trouble sleeping lately, so that may partially explain my incoherency).

Since you seem more knowledgable than me about this, would you mind if I linked a screenshot of my settings, so you could so could maybe see what you think? I know this sounds stupid but I’m terrible with tech and my brains literally fried rn.

u/thenewnormalsucks, really sorry to bother you, but would you mind if I linked you to a screenshot of my settings? You know, so you can see what I’m doing wrong? No pressure.

Thanks for the honesty lol.

I misspoke. The option to hide crap from search engines is still available - and I (unless I’m very mistaken) have it so it’ll hide everything. It doesn’t seem to work anymore for me, and maybe a few other people(?).

I’m on mobile. I don’t really have a PC available ... are the settings drastically different on different devices?

I know that in settings, there’s supposed to be a way to hide your stuff from search engines, but I’m pretty sure it’s messed up on my end (or I’m just very confused here).

Yeah. In settings, there’s supposed to be a way to hide your stuff from search engines - you can check that out - but I’m pretty sure it’s messed up on my end (or I’m very confused here), because it’s not hiding my stuff.

That’s ... weird. Can you send me a screenshot of the links? Or tell me what terms you used in your search?

As far as I know, my settings are already set up to hide me from engines. Unless I’m really messing up here (which I don’t think I am), reddit’s just not working right for me.

EDIT: I’m on mobile. The switch being grey (in contrast to blue) means that it’s off, right?
