Given that the developers of this application seem wholly uninterested in filtering children and inexperienced users out of their testing pool, I thought it would be prudent to go over some basic rules for navigating social media safely. 1) Never disclose personally identifying information online. Ordinarily this would include one's full name, but Retrospec has made that a moot point by displaying it at all times. Nevertheless, it is important that you keep other information such as your date of birth, home address, and passwords to your online accounts a private matter. 2) Never post anything that you wouldn't want someone to see. You might think you can just delete it, but once something's on the Internet, it's effectively there forever for anyone and everyone to see. Think carefully before you post. 3) If someone on the Internet wishes to meet with you offline, never go alone. Ensure that you have someone with you, preferably a parent or other trusted adult, and ensure that you'll be meeting in a public, well-lit area in open view. Better yet, don't go at all, as not everyone on the Internet is really who they say they are. If anyone has any additional safety pointers, you're welcome to add them to this post.

Dante Rantanen aside from the fact that there are plenty of websites that let you look up people's addresses and phone numbers by name alone
Dante Rantanen or you know
Dante Rantanen a phone book
Dante Rantanen i'm just saying these might be better suited to fifth-grade classrooms and "technology 101: how to connect to the world wide web" than on a social media network everybody's already screwing around on

[darkinferno]

Prompto Argentum i could do! you just gotta let me know how early you want me there

[darkinferno]

Dante Rantanen good to see you can be trusted with that whole "being more choosy about meeting strangers from the network" thing

[He's just going to be laughing about this for a while, oops]

[mercurio]

Prompto Argentum so you really don't need the notes

Dante Rantanen why do you sit in on his classes if you're not in them?
Dante Rantanen seems like a waste of time to me

[mercurio]

Prompto Argentum well... it's basically a free lesson.. and i learn new stuff

[darkinferno]

Dante Rantanen you can learn new stuff without listening to someone who thinks he's funnier than he is listen to the sound of his own voice multiple times a week
Dante Rantanen izunia if you're reading this you can butt out

[Not that that's likely to deter Ardyn, but it's the acknowledgement that's the important part here!]

Noah Gabranth If nothing else, the other comments here have demonstrated exactly why this post was necessary.

Noah Gabranth Suppose I'll add an amendment to the original post: don't believe everything you read on the Internet, even if you found it on Google.
