For me it would be the following:

  1. Don’t reuse usernames/names
  2. Avoid using social media
  3. Use Tor/VPN when you can

    Don’t be afraid to lie when it doesn’t matter. Unless it is for something official or that will impact the service, use the wrong DoB, enter the wrong name, etc… if it isn’t going to need verification then there is no need to give valid data that can be stolen or misused at a later date.

      But be sure to take note of that piece of information that you have lied, in case they will ask you when the time comes for account recovery.
