Okay real talk, I've tried a few options already and none of them have been great, so hoping for some honest input.
Privacy is something I think about a lot with this stuff. Not trying to end up on some list or have my data sold to advertisers.
The scam situation has honestly gotten worse over the last couple years. Verification means nothing on a lot of these sites.
- Reverse image search any profile photo you're unsure about
- Look for real activity signals — last login dates, post history, etc.
- Use a throwaway email for sign-up
- Never share your real phone number in early conversations
Drop your thoughts below, good or bad. Looking for real talk, not marketing copy.
