Is it worth living in an RV to be anonymous? (lemmy.world)

I'm wondering if there is any true benefits to being a nomad anymore. Given the fact that Flock exists and you're now tracked basically all the time, it's getting harder and harder. You could use deflock map to navigate around which could work. I would also like to know if this lifestyle is cheaper. I could buy a plot of land to live on in my RV and have a setup, winters might be brutal but I could possibly do it if done right. I make 100k/year right now in NY with no bills, so I'm saving up as much as I can.

I promise you, if you live in an RV, you are not anonymous. You're the dude who lives in an RV, every body knows who you are in your community.

If you want to be anonymous, blend in with the crowd, do the average thing everybody is doing, you'll not stand out and people will just forget they've ever seen you.

It's fairly difficult to have a fixed abode anonymously. It depends on what your threat model is, but if concealing your location, particularly to the state, is part of your threat model, living nomadically is better. You're talking about something different, which is blending in socially.
