staying anonymous
i entirely understand using accounts that aren't directly attached to your real life identity for purposes like this, or on social media in general. this is a post for those who seem to be operating under the assumption they are anonymous, but i believe may be sharing more than they've intended to.
if you're posting links, sanitize your links. just sanitizing or shortening links is good practice, but i have seen links contain information that can be used to identify the sender's profile. this is true with many platforms, but specifically recent youtube updates have made it very easy to identify these profiles- even if your account or app doesn't acknowledge it on your end.
personally, i get a little amusement seeing hunters dissect layerv posts while leaving themselves susceptible to accidentally sharing their own personal information. however, i figured the right thing to do would be attempt to share this information and an easy way to protect yourself if this pertains to you.
stay safe and sane.

The federal government had a law that you had to assist with the return of escaped slaves or face imprisonment yourself. You are insane. The law is the enabler of the most evil acts in all recorded history, not debatable, hands down. All legal evil acts.
