Is it wise to reveal your location on SM? (piefed.world)

I see people everywhere saying what city they live in, and sometimes even more detailed info than the city. This strikes me as unwise. Isn't it possible for bad actors to use that info to join the dots of details you leave everywhere and use it against you? Am I being unreasonably suspicious? People always have a strange reaction when I don't want to tell them what city I'm in. Or even what country I'm in, if I can help it. What do you all think?

It is far from wise to reveal your identity in any way on social media

People got stupid.
