I’ve noticed a lot of newer l1fting accounts using tags & I can’t find any old posts about l1ftblr safety rules so I have decided to make my own post on it. For newer members of the community, long, long ago before these precautions were used, l1fters of all ages (including minors) were harassed, stalked, and doxxed. People were affected online and in real life. Members of the community felt the need to leave for various reasons regarding safety and privacy. So here goes:
Remove exif and meta data from all pictures. It only takes an extra few minutes at most and erases identifying information such as your exact location.
Do not use tags. This can lead antis to the community which may lead to both harassment and doxxing of vulnerable members. We want to keep anyone who despises l1ftblr off of l1ftblr.
Do not share any private information. Any information that can be used to identify, lead to, locate, or gather information on you- should be kept to yourself. This is basic internet safety when working in anonymous spaces.
Keep your l1fting blog separate from any other blogs you use. Do not share or interact with non l1fting blogs with your l1ftblr, just like using tags, this can attract antis and cause harm to the community.
You don’t have to post everything, especially as soon as you get it. If your city’s loss prevention happens to be on liftblr, posting exactly what you picked up right after could provide extra evidence for building a case.
Keep in mind this is a crime. This is the reason for this post, the reason we need to keep non l1fting blogs away, the reason to avoid doxxing.
Be safe. In addition to the aforementioned list, keep in mind your regular internet safety tips and trust your gut. Ex. If a link looks shady don’t click, if someone in your messages seems suspicious ignore/block them, etc.
If you think the idea of someone being so jealous, spiteful, and enraged that you got something free that they will try to cause you trouble is ridiculous, you’re not alone but, it has happened. Loss prevention has been confirmed to peruse l1ftblr as well.
This is all I can remember & think of off the top of my head. If anyone has anything to add please do. Our individual safety’s are important as is our groups’ as a whole and it is all of our responsibility to protect.
