There are a decent amount of subreddits that practically are just creative writing exercise spaces, to be honest.

Quit Your Bullshit!
189 readers
126 users here now
Rules:
1: Bullshit must actually be called out.
Posts must be a screenshot of a lie/bullshit, and a call-out.
The lie and its direct responding call-out must be included in the screenshot(s) you provide. Context/call-outs in the title or comment section don't count.
Screenshots with overlaid text or other screencaps do not count: use them to call bullshit and screenshot that! Posts without proof will be tagged as such and could be subject to removal by the moderators.
2: Screenshots only. No links, stories, or videos!
Images / Screenshots only. Don't link to the location of the bullshit. No reddit and lemmy links allowed.
Don't link to a news article, or post a text story or a video. Your post must consist of screenshots only -- including the lie/bullshit and the call-out.
3: Remove all personal information -- even your own.
This decreases the likelihood of brigading/harassment and proves that we do everything we can to avoid it.
Basically, don't include a username that can be used to locate the bullshitter.
This means the reddit username, lemmy username, facebook name, twitter handle, and all other forms of identifying info (including your own username!) must be blocked. Posting user information in the comments circumvents this rule and will result in a ban.
4: Don't call bullshit on Trolls/Jokes/Memes/Bots/Honest Mistakes
Deliberate trolls or jokes don't belong here. This includes content from meme/joke communites -- jokes are made to be shared.
Posts involving honest mistakes don't belong here. Sometimes, people are wrong. Sometimes, users are mistaken or mislead. Being wrong isn't bullshit. Being a hypocrite isn't bullshit. It happens.
Calling out repost bots can also fall under this rule.
5: Political content is not allowed.
We don't want to push any political agenda. We don't support one side or the other -- we're simply observers. Basically, any content taken from a political subreddit or mentioning politicians will be removed. For political discussion head over to /c/Politics
Current news events may fall under this rule. Mods discretion.
If your post falls into a grey area, don't be afraid to message us before posting!
6: Stay civil. No hate speech or slurs!
Remember the human. Keep it civil. Don't use racial slurs or homophobic language.
7: Don't link to the bullshit, the bullshitter, or any covered info.
Don't name the bullshitter in the comments, or link directly to the bullshit involved. Similarly, don't request personal info/usernames that are covered up in the post.
8: Downvote/Harassment-brigading isn't allowed. No witch-hunts.
This subreddit does not allow downvote-brigading, harassment-brigading, or witch-hunting. This behavior will NOT be tolerated, and is the quickest way to net a permanent ban. Always follow Lemmiquette. If a post generates a downvote brigade, it will be removed even if it doesn't violate the other rules. We are merely observers.
9: Common Repost.
Posts in the Common Reposts Folder are not allowed to be reposted.
If the bullshit you're posting isn't in the folder, it's up to the moderators to determine if a repeated post is "common" or not.
If you repost old content with an identical title, we'll assume you're a bot and give you a permanent ban.
10: Recent Repost.
Please, check if your post has already been posted recently before submitting. Also, no reposts of Top/Popular posts!

To be fair, if you post shit that could easily dox you then an easy way to mitigate that is to sprinkle in the ocasional false lead. Basically if you don't want to be doxed then just tell an ocasional lie. It's not a bulletproof solution but it does make doxing more difficult.
People always get mad when I check their post history to point out the hypocrisies when we debate about something, it will never not be funny! It's usually people saying "Eat the rich" one day and defending a billionaire they like in another conversation...
I don't get It, why they do It? I mean, I get why the person from the post do it, looks like exercising some creative writing or compulsory lying want top everyone else. But why the "normal" people do it like in your example, if you gonna defend a billionaire why fake "eat the rich"? Or if you have a general opinion of eat the rich but a soft spot for some specific billionaire why not own it and say it? I guess I just kinda answered my own question, or like performative, to fit in in any group? So weird.
Though tbf, it's the Internet. Everything I say is a lie.
Especially the truths.
Would it be too much to ask creating a couple accounts?
They know too much
