A sad thing that I believe in that I think people in the furry fandom seem to forget is that you really have to limit talking about yourself when you're a furry on the internet.
This is mainly in regards to personal life, listing locations on your socials, and posting about where you go and/or posting around outside locations close to where you live. In actuality, everyone should be careful about posting these kinds of things, but it's especially important as a furry.
Reality is, people are hostile online. They hate people who speak out about things they don't like to hear. They hate furries. They really hate the combination of the two.
Say one thing out of line and people try to, and probably will, dox you. They do this in a variety of means including tracing what you post, which I'd know for having lurked various dark corners of the internet in my time, and what some people on fedi likely are familiar with even more than me.

I see a lot of furries on Twitter making leftist talking points, advocating for progressive views, and sometimes being very blunt about it, all while still posting about their surroundings and making it obvious where they are located. They become easy targets for these kinds of terrible people, which is why I, being opinionated a lot, personally restrict what I talk about in terms of anything about me outside the internet. I already despise blogging about specifics in my personal life because honestly, nobody needs to know most of that.
I feel like so many furries forget that when you're part of a minority group or a targeted community online, the phrase "the internet never forgets" cranks up to hard mode for you, and if you're in the wrong spot at the wrong time, what breadcrumbs you leave that are connected to you come back to haunt you.
