Your name will end up on a list.

Such lists can be queried by those that are properly connected, typically LE/three (and in some countries four) letter agencies if your name ever turns up in some other context and then it might be given some weight, but other than that I wouldn't expect anything to come of it assuming that you are telling the truth. Such inter-service requests for information on particular individuals are pretty regular but someone first has to ask for you by name, and in a country with proper privacy protections typically a judge would have to sign off on such a broad request, but these mechanisms are not always perfect.

Reading threads isn't a crime, but hanging out in places where lots of criminals hang out doesn't help you in the association department.



Unless you have some reason to be there, eg negotiating with someone who hacked your service.
