I know a public Instagram profile means giving up a lot of privacy since anyone can see your posts, followers, etc. However, while I can’t control who follows me, I can control my posts, follows, and bio. So, for a public Instagram account, what are the best ways to protect myself and minimize personal information exposure?

I have thought of some things: for one, never post a photo of anything to do with your house to protect where you live; secondly, don’t give off any personal information in your description. But I am wondering what other ways exist for maximizing privacy in this context without making the account private or deleting it. Any advice is appreciated.
