    Someone DM’d me my home address on a pseudonymous account I thought had no ties to my IRL identity.

      For a while, while I was on reddit I had a new account send me “my home address” every couple weeks, I think it was the same person using multiple accounts. They always got the address wildly wrong though. Which is weird because it would have been very easy to figure out what city I’m from at least.

      Probably someone who already knew your address IRL, but then found your account and decided to mess with you.

      Siblings? Friends? Neighbors?

      I doubt someone who never met you IRL could’ve found you address (unless you leaked it somehow).
