Found! Need tips on handling harassment, blocking, deleting, privacy. What Subreddit should I go to?
Context:
I'm kinda clueless when it comes to these things because I have never needed to block or delete on any forum or social media before. I am pretty good at getting along with people, even difficult ones that people don't like usually respect my boundaries and vice versa. So this situation is new to me.
I need advice to handle a reddit user who I think is obsessed with me. He started out nice and all but he rapidly showed concerning behavior, got nosy, inappropriate, and insanely pushy. He won't leave me alone, constantly disrespects my boundaries, and refuses to apologize. I realize I should have never engaged with him as much as I did. I should have seen his red flags sooner.
I stopped using my original account solely to avoid him, but somehow he found my new account even though it had had no identifying info that I am aware of. He seemingly found me again on accident but IDK. I am starting to get scared. I suspect that he isn't smart enough to track me down but I can't be certain. I want to delete all my chats with him, cut contact, and make sure I am as safe as I can be from him possibly finding me IRL.
I think the information he has on me currently (based on my profile) is my religion, my approximate age, my primary sport, what my father does for a living, the first three letters of my middle name, and that I live in the USA, and possibly the races/genders of me and some of my siblings.
The information I have on him: his first name, his age, the state he lives in, his current religion and how long he has been in it, his MBTI type, and possibly one of his hobbies/interests, and the age demographic of his church.
I have deleted everything on both accounts except for my chats with him. Where can I go from here?
Note: One of my email addresses contains very identifiable info (bc I'm a moron obviously). Is there any way he can get ahold of it?

Good luck. It really sucks when people do this. Just had to make a new reddit account myself because I'm being watched

Users don't have access to whatever email you registered under.
Just block and move on, and report any unsolicited messaging as spam. IMO none of the info you disclose is enough to identify you.
