2/10 near RecolleGiven 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.

Noah Gabranth But it never hurts to be cautious.
[ The words probably come off as more encouraging than Noah actually intends. Really, he sees most things on the net — including social media, except in those increasingly-more-common instances where it actually benefits his various investigations — as a huge waste of time. ]
