It's very unfortunate that I even have to make this post but there are scammers using this sub to engage with users via DM and asking for nudes.
DONT SEND THEM.
Don't do videocalls.
We CANNOT protect you. Reddit CANNOT protect you.
We can ban accounts, they'll create new ones.
Please stay safe!
Create a throwaway account for surfing / posting here.
Don't share real pictures showing your face
Don't give out your phone number.
Don't give out your email address.
On that throwaway, don't share your specific location, university, employer, etc.
Scammers will use anything they can find on your profile to identify and then blackmail you.
If you're being blackmailed CONTACT REDDIT DIRECTLY. We can only ban scammers from the sub, but they can still DM users. Only reddit can ban the account as a whole and IP-ban them.
Tl;dr: Don't post/send nudes unless you're ready to have the whole world see them.
Better be safe than sorry.
