Safety, privacy & posting tips

  • Don’t post passport/ID, flight tickets or exact home address.
  • For buying/selling, meet in public places and verify items before paying.
  • Be skeptical of too-good-to-be-true housing deals; use contracts and receipts.
  • Use DMs for personal details; report suspicious accounts to admins.
