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.

You can thank big tech for that

They love to datamine every aspect of your life and encourage you to post every detail about yourself on the internet
