Appreciate the information.

Going to be careful on what I put on my profile. Whatever I put will be vague enough to be next to impossible to figure out who I am.

I don't want the U.S. Gestapo, hackers, or other bad actors to (easily) be able to find out my true identity and other personal info based on what I put down there. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I feel there is a nonzero chance of police arresting me for some fabricated reason that they can make up from what I post. I have personally had enough law enforcement encounters last year to last me for a good while.

Hope everyone can understand the reasoning.
