Ok so I'll make a thread with some things you can do to protect yourself from ⁴čh*n without having to hide yourself.
Please retweet so we can all be as safe as possible

But before that, I'll make some notes:
1) I don't even know how doxxing works, so some of the things on the list might not even work, and there are probably more things you can do.

2) If you do want to hide, it's completely ok, we won't judge you, we understand you. And in that case, I recommend these tips https://twitter.com/technahblade/status/1265918075800518657?s=19
3) I use an android, so some of the settings mentioned will probably have a different name in IOS, but I'm sure most of them have a counterpart in IOS
The first step you want to take is downloading a VPN. I'm sure most people know what a VPN is nowadays because of youtube and shit. These are some of the best ones I found

Don't post things that can give even slight clues as to where you live such as: your name, where you work, where you study, pictures of places that can be found on google maps, etc
Disable your twitter precise location in the privacy and safety settings
Look up your name on google and delete anything you still have access to, then go to http://google.com/webmasters/tools/removals then inserting the url for the pages you deleted (one at a time)
And if you don't have access to the pages/accounts you want to delete, go to http://support.google.com/legal/troubleshooter/1114905#tts and follow the steps there
Go to http://haveibeenpwned.com and check all your emails, if you have been pwned (most likely) delete or change the password for the accounts shown there
Another thing you can do is turn off the Find My Mobile function by going to Settings>Biometrics and Security>Find my Mobile
You should keep the location setting turned off at all times by either turning it off in the settings bar or by going to Settings>Location
Even if you do keep that turned off at all times, make sure to disable permission for all your social media apps by going to Settings>Location>App Permissions then clicking your social media apps and selecting Deny
Check if your security system is up to date by going to Settings>Biometrics and Security>Security Update and check if it says whether or not it's up to date
Deactivate your Google Location History by going to Settings>Privacy>Google Location History and pausing it on all your accounts
Make daily security checks on Settings>Device Care>Security
The next part is not about really avoid getting doxxed, but about avoid getting redpilled
Turn off photo tagging or set it to people who can follow you
Turn off personalization and data
Turn on all quality filters (basic and advanced) and mute words you thing might be used
Turn on all the content filters and don't open images marked as sensitive from people you don't trust
Set your dms to message requests and activate quality filters
And I think that's all. It's a bit of a complicated and very time consuming process, but I'm sure it probably pays off, security is not something to play with
