I'm asking cause I'm like 80% sure someone here lives near me. Would you like to maintain the veil of internet anonymity or meet comrades in your area? Discuss.

    About a year ago, I identified a user on here as someone who I went to high school with. I wasn't friends with this person, but I had chatted with them in class a few times. I was able to deduce this because their username was their actual real life name (not even joking).

    I DM'd them to delete their account and undoxx themselves (they did), but I did not tell them that I know them in real life. The door is open for me to reach out to them, but I'm not sure if I want to.

      What a fucking dork, I'm a fan of strict username rules to prevent this sort of thing, including "no names whatsoever can be used including real names, celebrities, nicknames, or even something that looks like a name"
