Why - OH WHY - ANYBODY would do this, or why they would put location/contact information in their username or spread it around in posts/comments, I will never know. The very idea is shocking and absurd. I guess it makes sense if this is day 1 on the internet for them, but I doubt that's the case.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, OPEN YOURSELF UP TO DOXXING, HARASSMENT, STALKING, CATFISHING, SPAM, SCAMS, OR ANY OTHER MALICIOUS, TARGETED BEHAVIOR BY REVEALING YOUR FULL, REAL NAME, REAL LOCATION YOU LIVE, WORK, GO TO SCHOOL, ETC, OR ANY CONTACT INFORMATION WHETHER PHONE NUMBER, ONLINE PROFILE, TEXT APP USERNAME, ETC, OPENLY IN PUBLIC

If you really feel you need to share these details, you must do so PRIVATELY. That's why PMs exist on reddit. That's why IMs exist on reddit (although most people hate reddit IMs and are not recommended).

How to PM:

1. Go to a user's profile

2. Select "send a private message" or whatever it happens to be on your device
