THANK YOU FOR LINKING THIS for real I am so tired of people casually giving out personal information on the internet you think it's harmless, but it's not! I've had friends who were doxed because of their name and birthday being known. (and in more extreme cases.... their new house that they moved into found on zillow because people compared photos of their *fireplace* that was in a picture they posted to fireplaces of homes on the website of the city they were located)
I personally find it absolutely funny that a couple of weeks ago smr had a shitstorm about "arr doxxes people with IPs!!!" and now they are having this "discussion" about ID verification. Absolutely amazing ignorance.
there are barely any asks on SMR that even so much as reference ID verification. iirc the person who dropped the screenshots for clout (1sun1spirit?) said something to the effect of LFD having nothing in place to stop minors lying, but they're the only jackass to come close to both referencing ID verification and saying it should be a thing.
why are so many people in this thread acting like this is a huge thing over there
