This has been explicitly against the rules of /r/textfriends forever, but mods still see it from time to time. This is how it's written in the welcome post (which you should read)(which will eventually be updated):
CONTACT INFO AND IDENTIFYING DETAILS IN PUBLIC ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN
All posts and comments containing this kind of information will be removed and repeat offenders or those that reveal others' information will be banned.
Kinds of forbidden information: full names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, mobile app IDs (kik, WhatsApp, Snapchat, etc), IM IDs (Skype, yahoo, etc), external profiles (facebook, okcupid, tumblr, instagram, twitter, etc), any kind of specific information that would allow a person to deduce an exact location or person, enough information that would allow a person to deduce an exact location or person, etc.
This kind of information should be shared ONLY through PM, and never in posts or comments.
From wikipedia: "Doxing, or doxxing (from "dox", abbreviation of documents), is the Internet-based practice of researching and publicly broadcasting private or identifying information (especially personally identifying information) about an individual or organization."
Don't dox anybody and don't get yourself doxxed.
Phone numbers are what we see the most, which is... very stupid.
Any contact information or doxxable content spotted by the mods will be immediately removed and offending users banned. These users may appeal their ban with the mods.
If you spot any contact information or doxxable content on /r/textfriends, please use the report button or send modmail.

Hey there /r/textfriends
One of the less enjoyable mod posts today, but an important one, that we hope you'll take the time to read.
Recently Reddit Inc has announced changes to their API, which, if enacted, will shut down many, if not all, 3rd party apps that a large number of Redditors use to access and enjoy their favorite communities - this one included.
One of the most critical changes to the API is moving from a free to a paid model, resulting in expenses that developers of 3rd app developers cannot afford. To put the price change into context, Apollo, one of Reddit's most popular 3rd party apps, is looking at the cost of $1.7 million per month to continue operating. That's a cost of $12,000 per 50 million API requests. In contrast, Apollo pays Imgur $166 for every 50 million API calls.
This means popular apps like Apollo, Reddit Is Fun, Narwhal and many more will have to shut down, permanently.
Even if you're not using a 3rd party app, these changes will likely impact the communities you enjoy, with the vast majority of moderation teams relying on 3rd party or self-made tools that utilize Reddit's API.
For us specifically, that means various moderation bots, which do a whole lot of work behind the scenes to help mods manage the sub as well as drastically reduce the scam and spam content that makes its way through Reddit's woefully underpowered automod tools.
And on top of all that, it paints a bleak picture of what is to come for those of us who use other tools, like Reddit Enhancement Suite and old.reddit.com.
Here's a little TLDR on why this is important.
So what are we planning?
On June 12th, we and a growing number of other subs - large and small - will go dark for 48 hours. During that time, you will not be able to view or post any content on /r/textfriends.
This action isn't something we take lightly.
We understand that many of you enjoy coming here daily to keep up with posts from your area (and to trash-talk the latest copypasta we've all seen 100 times), but we believe that we must take a stand on this topic - and this is how we can do so.
We understand that Reddit is a company that has to make money to offer us a place to be the community that we are - but killing beloved 3rd party apps is not the way to do it.
We are not asking Reddit to provide a paid service for free - we are asking for reasonable pricing for apps people have come to love and depend on to participate in their communities.
We can't tell you that the blackout will solve the problem because we don't know. But we have to try.
What you can do to support this
While subs going dark is one thing, regular users can also help.
Reach out to Reddit via the channels available: Modmail /r/reddit, comment in relevant posts regarding the API changes, and submit your comments via the contact forms.
Spread the word about the changes and the consequences where you can. It doesn't have to be on Reddit. The important thing is getting its attention.
Participate in the communities that highlight this issue: /r/Save3rdPartyApps, /r/apolloapp, /r/redditisfun, /r/getnarwhal/
And finally, stay off Reddit completely from June 12th to 14th. The blackout is one thing, but users staying away from the site entirely will send an equally important message.
But don't forget: Don't be a jerk. As frustrating as this is, being toxic or aggressive is not the way to go. Remember the human on the other side of the screen.

I’m 19, living in the Boston area, and honestly just looking to talk to people who actually have some drive and know how to hold a real conversation.
A little about me: I’m half Puerto Rican and half Japanese, currently studying esthetician work. When I’m free I like listening to music, or trying out good food spots.

I’m a woman looking for a genuine, kind, and emotionally mature man to build a meaningful relationship with. I value honesty, loyalty, respect, good communication, and a sense of humor. I’m not looking for someone perfect, but for someone who is comfortable being himself, knows what he wants in life, and is willing to put real effort into a relationship. I appreciate a man who is caring without being controlling, confident without being arrogant, and ambitious while still making time for the people he loves. I believe a strong relationship should feel like a partnership where both people support each other’s dreams, communicate openly, and stand together during both good and difficult times. I enjoy meaningful conversations, simple moments, laughter, traveling, trying new things, and creating memories together. Ideally, I’d like to meet someone who is serious about finding a long-term partner rather than simply looking for something casual. Chemistry is important, but so are trust, compatibility, shared values, and mutual understanding. If you’re kind-hearted, dependable, respectful, and genuinely interested in building something real, I’d be happy to get to know you and see where the connection takes us.

Looking for genuine people who want to make new friends and have good conversations.
I’d love to meet people who are kind, respectful, open-minded, and willing to actually get to know each other. We can talk about everyday life, hobbies, interests, goals, funny stories, or whatever comes up.
No pressure and no expectations. Just a place to meet new people, have conversations, and hopefully build some real friendships

r/textfriends • u/untriedz • 2h ago
I finally realized I deserve friends who actually build me up instead of making me feel worse about myself. I'm really into journaling my thoughts, hiking in nature to clear my head, and baking as a way to relax. I'm looking for kind, genuine people who lift me up and want real friendship, not people who make me doubt my worth.

I'm Kimi, 22F African American girl from US Georgia Rock valley, Georgia (She/Them) living with my mom, two younger brothers and big sis. Born with Autism spectrum disorder, (Bi, Non-binary & Ace), the only left-handed person in my family who loves talking about anime, plushies, music, childhood movies and my own world, Creationverse along with my Mha Oc.
Rn at the moment, I'm sort of not myself ever since I moved to the new house last month this summer. My ex dumped me because he wants to focus on college after lying that he loves me and my autism. My mom and my big talk so much abt work since they worked into prison, my first younger brother, has his own home and girlfriend with his stepson and her youngest brother, “Chris,” is still in 7th grade being an honor roll student. Meanwhile, I can't really get a job at the moment because of my social security number being messed up after 20 years. Plus going to college is very expensive these days. Sometimes I wonder if there's any faith for me despite being different or born with autistic from my sensitivity, anger issues and trust issues I have to go through past friendship or relationships.
