i think probably for me, yeah.
there's a lot online that i could've learned when i was younger, albeit i'm only 17 now, i kinda feel this weird transition phase between teenager and adult right now.
and especially, a lot of kids need to learn on how to stay safe online today - a lot of those "how 2 stay safe onlein" things made like, a solid decade ago that may or may not be taught in schools; is definitely super outdated.
really, a lot of my life in general has little or even no privacy thanks to jerks out in the real world. even if i'm in a car and being driven somewhere with our tinted windows, jerks can still take photos of me by literally just whipping out their phone, sliding it, and shoot.
but i think though, it's more about what you can do specifically.
like, a lot of people now seem to have forgotten NOT to share their real-life names and stuff online, i think it's understandable in gender-diverse spaces where i've seen a lot of folks use their real preferred names, but again it's still not super smart.
online, it's like saying what your phone number or email is. sure, most people may not know you in the real world, but it's always a risk.
and especially acting the exact same way you do in the real world, online - that's also not the smartest thing.
there's always a risk showing too much of yourself online, but it doesn't mean you have to be a weird turtle who never gets out of it's shell!
like, i have an online persona - while i do share some info that would otherwise get me trampled in the real-world online, most of it's just nicknames and personas. it's also why i'd much prefer to use a live2D or 3D VTuber-esque model for video conferences and especially for videos on YouTube, if i ever need to 'show myself,' simply because both gender dysphoria and again that risk too.
