There is a bit of a difference between leaving signs that you're away visible to anyone who happens to be passing your home, and actually broadcasting that information on the internet. More to the point, people who might otherwise take precautions, like getting a friend to pick up their mail while they're away on vacation, end up broadcasting the fact that they're away to the whole net-connected world and think nothing of it.
You're creating a false dichotomy where there need not be one. There's no difference between taking the precaution of having a friend pick up your mail and taking the precaution of not broadcasting your whereabouts to the entire fucking world
