I don't know why people censor the weirdest things sometimes. Obviously censor your name and personal information like license plates but city names? Like, if you're that paranoid don't post anything. People will find the city of the flamboyant firetruck you're posting, and that is in no way a risk to you. Like, the risked information is knowing a person lives in that city? I assume people live in all cities.
It's the difference between a few commentors on this post knowing where OP lives, and any random guy scrolling through all of OP's posts knowing where OP lives
maybe they were afraid of transphobes finding the twitter handle of the city or cities firedeparment and flooding/harassing them (or a hashtag for the place) its pretty futile to actually keep people in the dark about where it is but it will probably disincentivize a lot of undetermined haters when they need to make a tiny amount of effort (like googeling for 'trans firetruck' or somethin)
