Use your display name to help others escape data rape.
Example, WhatsApp, use the whole 25 character profile name limit:
undefined
Bob Moved To Signal.org Alice MovedTo Signal.org CharlieMovedTo Signal.org
Say Signal.org, not Signal, so they see it is an app.
Use your about section too.
Same on Discord, Steam, Instagram, everywhere.

If you use Instagram/Facebook/Messenger, check the "off Meta technologies" section. Your other apps may be sending data without you knowing
Even if you don't enter data into Facebook/Meta directly, they may be getting data from other games/music apps/etc.
How to check
- Navigate to the
Accounts Center
menu.- Instagram: open your profile page > 3 bar menu >

I use some apps to communicate with family, and clearly my privacy protections weren't as good as I thought they were. I set things up a long time ago, so I imagine something changed since then.
I'm considering of either sending the apps to the work profile, or switching to only using them in the browser. If it's because I connected my account to the other service at some point, I don't know how to sever that connection now aside from dropping that other game/app/service
