[56/M] Dumb Questions about snail mail Penpals
I am interested in totally platonic snailmail penpals, so began looking into this subreddit. Because my experience with this is decades out of date, I held some naive questions about it:
Are there any particular things I can do to help penpals feel safe interacting via snailmail with me? It sounds dumb, but we did not think about stalking, doxxing etc when I was young. The internet was not around until I was in my mid-late 20s. I am a man and while not particularly looking for female penpals, I want to make it safe for anyone including myself.
I looked into PO Boxes and (at least where I live) they are stupidly expensive. $30/month for the small ones. -Are there any other anonymizing alternatives for physical mail?
Thanks in advance for any advice
