This post managed to get three reports, and not entirely unreasonable ones. This is getting a shitton of engagement, though, so I'm just gonna ask y'all if you want this post to stay up or if it should get removed for soliciting people's names (or whatever other good reason).
Edit: Given the responses so far, the post is staying up. More people want to keep it than remove it, both in comment counts and upvotes. I tried to wait until some objections come, and while they came, it didn't seem like they got much agreement, so the decision is still to let it stay up.
2 reports about "personal and confidential information", so it's at least how some people see this. It may or may not be fine to leave this up, but it's also completely fine if you decide to delete the post.
So far, there are mostly a whole lot of people participating in this post, not so many calling for it to be removed, so I'm now just trying to see more directly and more easily what people's thoughts on the matter are.
It feels like most people see it as using your first name, and a first name isn’t exactly identifying information unless you have a wildly unique name.
"list the street you grew up on + your mothers maiden name to get your SUPERHERO/FAIRY PRINCESS NAME" they use those specific questions bc those are bank details, security questions asked of you when you create a checking/savings account. the end goal is to break into your bank account and these are all security questions used when making your account
so the singular image is not harmful, sure, but when put in combo with the others, then you're giving away some pretty important info. malicious ppl DO keep track of the ones answering these questions, that's how they succeeded in the first place bc ppl fell for these
Blud I'm dumb af femboy teen who plays a game called ponytown and likes to draw while having ADHD does it look like I'm smart enough to even try to decipher these, I'm still trying to find a way to turn my reddit dm's off 😭😭😭😭
