To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed with how the whole Fiatjaf doxxing unfolded. It reinforces some conclusions I've been considering:

• Protecting your private information is solely up to you. Society will even help spread information you want to keep private if it creates profit... bad actors will be incentivized and supported to do it (oh, it's just journo doing their work).
• While most will help, those who can help the most will remain silent publicly to protect their future options (or are too busy with their own issues).
• Instead of focusing on solving problems, it's often better to selfishly advance your own interests and leave injustices for altruistic (and regular) individuals to handle.
• Negative outcomes (like your doxxing gaining more attention) are way more likely than positive ones (such as your private information being removed).

For nym developers, this leads to a pessimistic outlook: expect to be doxxed once your contributions reach a certain level. You won't be able to keep your private life untainted. Individuals will find ways to drag you into unwanted territory - following their programming to make the information free. If your contributions reach the level where professional doxxers start noticing you, expect to be labeled a Nazi or something equally absurd.

The only positive outcome I see is to kill your identity while you're ahead. If you've received enough through your contributions to comfortably leave, absolutely do that. Even staying in touch with a few trusted people isn't advisable, as professional doxxers can exploit those connections and twist information.

Anything else feeds into the fiat clown world we're part of. Satoshi really did it well—contributed, gave it all away, and then quit while he was ahead.

Despite this perfection, there are still idiots out there saying things like "If you meet Satoshi on the road, kill him." This just shows how power-hungry and programmed for competition most people are. Plan for that and protect your privacy.
