How is creating or operating a community “painting a bullseye” ? And tbh now more than ever I think it’s important for communities like this to exist.

Interpreting Animats' question as concern for the user population, I think it's a valid one. The new administration in the US is openly hostile, and a lot of damage could be done to peoples' lives if, say, the community was hacked and private email addresses (or other PII) was leaked. And I also agree with you -- now's the time for those of us who can afford it, to fly our ally flags as loudly and proudly as possible…

I am taking security very seriously. All sensitive rows are protected by RLS, and I have gone even further by adding random noise to all location data. Locations are locked down, but in the unfortunate event of a hack what would be leaked is location within a 5 or so mile range, not exact location.

If it is possible on Supabase I would like to eventually obscure emails and oauth info.

You probably shouldn’t show NSFW to non-logged in users. Otherwise you could run afoul of various laws, since technically minors can access it

I will add a tagging system and hide nsfw posts from non-logged-in non-opted-in users this weekend.

The biggest piece of feedback I think I have gotten from posting here is that the nsfw content is a bit shocking which I get. Sorry about that. My guess is that if you just scrolled twitter or whatever by new exclusively unfiltered you wouldn’t have that different an experience. On the one hand I do think there is something interesting about the rawness of this network but also some sort of smart nsfw filtering is cl…

I’m talking about NSFW posts, not a blanket statement about trans people.

I would urge you to reread my post.

Please be very, very careful with security. That includes logging as little as you can get away with. Your site is a tempting target for a certain class of people.

It's horrible that you have to issue cautions like that but it's true.

What’s wrong with Grindr, the biggest app for queer and trans people to meet?

I... am not sure if this is a joke or not. Grindr is not a community or posting tool. It's a hookup app.

That used to be true but Grindr has pivoted and now advertises itself as a 2SLGBTQIA+ community app

Serious question: Is my browser blocking image content or something?

Or is there general consensus that plain body-font sized text is also an NSFW concern?
