Asking here because you guys cut through marketing noise better than most places. Finding a community matching your specific interests takes exploration but it's worth it.
Good communities self-police to some degree alongside formal moderation. Video call before you meet — fastest way to confirm someone is who they claim to be.
Text-only rooms are underrated for people who value discretion above everything.
Basic precautions I follow:
- Check the privacy policy before giving any platform access to your contacts or location.
- A VPN helps with general privacy but is not a complete solution for anonymity.
- Tell a trusted friend where you're going and share your live location during a first meet.
