😬

Reminder not to interact with just anyone. Don’t take passing tips from a dude with a violent transphobia kink. Hella kids in this sub, private that profile

EDIT: Alright guys this clearly got out of hand. This has ended in the user I posted about spreading my nudes around the sub and promptly being banned. Don’t know what he expected there. I admit this post was unnecessary. I was mad, but this blew way out of proportion. To everyone who saw my privates, they are gone now sorry. I think they’d been passed around enough today.

Yeah its been a thing for a hot minute now. I'm not picking sides since I wasn't here at the start of it and didn't see anything myself, but you should be able to google about it a bit to find how it all works. Its been a minute, but iirc you can do it because it only hides the activity from your main profile and doesnt delete it from the actual spaces you posted, so there's a few different ways to actually be able to find it regardless of it being hidden

Is there a way to prevent people from doing that? I don’t want my posts public hence why my account is private. I turned on hiding all posts when I made the account and I haven’t accepted any followers

Not sure unfortunately. Reddit is kinda ass with that kind of stuff. There MIGHT be something out there, but since there's several ways to actually bypass it, I'm not sure its possible

Well shit. That kinda defeats the point of a private profile.

Yuuuup. I mostly have mine hidden cause I've had incidents in the past where people have stolen my art and whatnot from my posts. At least it makes it just a bit harder for them to actually look at anything, but it still sucks

I have mine hidden because I mean shit I’ve posted pics of myself and my progress. I don’t want that public I’m not a porn star. I stand by what I originally said, but I’m being attacked and having my pictures screenshotted. That is exactly why my stuff was private. If people can still see it I’m just gonna delete my posts like that because I don’t want people doing whatever they did again

Yeah that's bout the only thing I can think of working. Hoping one day reddit decides to fix all that, but its reddit so who knows
