You're not sharing much personal information on this site anyway, just a username and password, then your IP which might not even reach the back-end servers due to Cloudflare front-end.
The most dangerous thing you could do would be to upload a picture of yourself, your house, your car, your friends... well you get the point. Or mentioning specific places and specific times, every detail place you in a smaller group until it's only you left, then an attacker could figure out who you are by the excluding method.
For reference, try to look me up. As you can expect my real name ain't Fegeline and Denmark isn't my real location.
if you grew up on the internet during the 90's you already know these rules very well. but if you didn't, you shouldn't trust anyone on the internet, never tell your name, place of work, show a picture, give an address...ANYTHING. Remain as anonymous as possible.
Bingo, it actually makes me sad to se the younger generation be so damn naive, thinking they're anonymous while a quick glance at their profile can reveal exactly who they are.
Ever since the start of social networks, its been very odd to me about how open people are about personal info. Now, people have personal pics pf themselves with their full name + general location on twitter for the world to see lmfao. The dumbasses on facebook tagging their friends on public pages are idiots too.
I remain confused when people so eagerly doxx themselves online. In the old days you didn't even really want to reveal your country or time zone if you could help it. I was friends with people for 3 years before I'd even exchange PO Boxes to send each other Christmas presents, and even then we didn't share real names.
Another rule is to never post a digital photo online, unless it's a holiday photo.
Photos will contain in the exif data the exact location of where it was taken. If you take a photo in your bedroom and you send it to someone, that someone will know exactly where you live.
You can turn off the location data in the settings of your camera. Do that but don't trust it. Most website where you upload photos will remove the location for you. But don't trust it.
Always take a screenshot of your photo and post that.
Personal info is the real issue here. I have a line for myself on any online platform, be it here, or the period of time I was seeing what 4chan is about - no personal info that can doxx myself, and be VERY VERY VERY fucking careful what external links I click on. There are obsessed shitbags all over 4chan who set up IP traps and such just because they're shitty human beings who think it's funny to doxx people.
A lot of conflicting information, is it safe to assume this is still a safe and secure site?
Yes. Only thing that's changed is the domain.

But how can you doxx someone with only the IP address? Assuming it's the real one, it only points at your internet provider and your general area.
Only your internet provider can know who you are from your IP.
Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Listen to this guy.
