It's quite shitty that despite all the heart-warming stories and potential to make folks feel less alone, my first thought was how this self-disclosure on a map can endanger said people.
EDIT: I already found a pin in the city near where I grew up that I'm pretty confident I know who wrote.
EDIT2: If I was creating this website, I would try to think of ways to use coarser locations or maybe display local stories in a way that is disconnected from the dropped pins.
Same, tbh. I think a lot of people who do this know there's a risk, and I admire their courage. I wouldn't dare.
