You decide what's in your card remember that depending on what you put there (like links to your social media),
it might be easy for people who stumble upon your card to identify you.
inactive-accounts:
question: 'Can I take over someone''s username if their card hasn''t been updated in a while?'
answer:

Cards are not necessarily meant to be updated often, we don't require people to do that in order
to keep their username. We do have a system in place that (after a warning, a week in advance)
cleans up accounts that hoard a username <em>without creating a card</em> but once a person
has created a card, only the author can manage it or remove it
(unless it breaches our Terms of Service, of course).
- >
Please don't report people for “username hoarding”. The cleanup process is automatic and clearly defined.
Your report will not make it faster.

If a person whose username you want to take over has put some contact information in their card,
they're likely open to strangers reaching out to them, so you might consider contacting them
with a polite request but please remember to be respectful and not pushy!
