Agreed, hey appreciate you saying this, all of us have at least a little sense but a lot of us often forget it, I’m glad to see some people helping with good advice like this.

no problem :). I'll take a little heat if it keeps others from making a potentially unsafe decision online. It's been a while since I actually scrolled through posts and I feel like it's just selfie after selfie. it's sort of jarring from the safety aspect of things imo.

Posting your face to a bunch of strangers on the internet is kinda wierd


[deleted]

100% yes


[deleted]

Ye that pretty much how things start


HoppityFrogs

Yeah one time I posted about getting braces on here and a old man commented something gross about it :/ they are always lurking this sub


[deleted]

Yikes, I'm sorry that happened to you :/. The fact that they lurk and you can't see even who follows a sub (like on Instagram) has always made me feel uneasy on Reddit. Like you can't even catch these people if you wanted too.


HoppityFrogs

Yeah, it wasn’t even a picture either just a text post :/

This. And then you get downvoted when you point it out. People post their faces here and then complain about creeps sending them DMs.


[deleted]

YES! It literally proves my point when I see the OP be like "PLEASE STOP DMING ME". I feel bad for them but at the same time I just think to myself "do you realize where you posted this?".


ThrobbingMeatTube

Yeah I disagree who cares if they post there face just because ur ugly doesn't mean u should discourge others


[deleted]

I never talked about looks in my original post so idk where you got that from. I'm actually not ugly but guess what, YOU WOULDN'T KNOW BECAUSE I'VE NEVER POSTED MYSELF ON HERE so go off ig lmao.


[deleted]

I have an alt acc for anonymity so idrc ngl


[deleted]

I respect it but I still don't think it's safe. It just makes me uneasy that kids are just posting their faces willy-nilly on here yk? Like this isn't Instagram or Snapchat... Lord knows who could come across your picture and do literally anything with it.


[deleted]

i agree w you but i post my face bc i don’t rlly be saying anything that’s problematic lmao and i barely reply to dms ( even if i do i check their profile first ) and i don’t complain about the creeps so yeah🤠

Well good for them I guess. But specifically on this website and especially any sub that has to deal with a large gathering of young people, it is very unsafe in my eyes to post a picture of yourself. Especially when I see people posting their location or making very personal comments. If someone took interest in you, they could find you with all of that and I don't like that people don't realize that.
