Members helped someone figure out how to stay anonymous on the site by changing their username and removing personal details like their town and address from their profile. Several members shared that the fix is easy by going to account settings or the profile page to update or delete any information you do not want visible. A recurring theme was a welcoming, supportive tone as the community guided a newer member through the steps to feel safer and more comfortable participating.

This is an easy fix.
Click on = in the upper left
Go to account settings and change your username name.
Be sure to save it and it will update.

Go to the SETTINGS on this site
(open your profile, it's there)..can change anything.. I love being a part of this site..BUT.. 20+ emails a day is way too much..especially if they don't relate to me in any way.

Great questions — privacy matters, and it's completely understandable to want to feel safe in the community. Here's what's good to know about how your information is protected:

Staying Anonymous
- You don't need to use your real name on your profile
- Avoid sharing personal details like your address in public posts
- You can edit your profile story to remove any identifying information

Can Outsiders See What You Post?
- Posts made on the general feed can be visible to others in the community
- However, if you post directly on a specific member's page and include personal contact info (like an email or phone number), that information is hidden from everyone except you, the recipient, and the page owner

Important Warning ⚠️
Sharing personal information in a regular post — not on someone's specific page — will be visible to everyone in the community. So be mindful of where you post sensitive details. To remove or update your address or other profile details, you can edit your profile directly. If you'd like to delete your account entirely, scroll to the bottom of the homepage and click "Help Center" to get support from the team.
