I think it's important everyone can see it. I want to make an privacy/security page with the basics, but it is applicable to people who haven't signed up yet. Some of the main things our users can do to manage their risk is use a unique username they haven't used before and using a unique and strong password they haven't used before. Some people like to manage their email address usage, that is not unreasonable and applies to people making accounts also.

I think the most important thing to keep in mind is that any website can be breached. If you want to stay anonymous you must make sure that the information you give away when signing up can't trace you. Sometimes just an email address and date of birth is enough for someone to hack you. Lots of places use poor encryption for passwords so if you reuse passwords that's a risk. Employees can also have more information than they should and could use it to stalk you.

Very often I've seen users on Reddit mention it's their birthday. They will use the sub for their city and put their first name in their flair. Just that is enough to dox someone.

We will be making a document on this, if anyone has suggestions on what it needs to have let us know here.

(Probably obvious (or outdated?) but I didn't see it linked yet, so just in case it saves someone some clicks: archived page from the old gc sidebar: https://web.archive.org/web/20200125070724/https://www.reddit.com/r/GenderCritical/wiki/security )
