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 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.

email me if you need a code review

Without wishing to appear overly snippy, this is how I would begin hacking such a site.

Offer to do a "code review".

Don't trans people usually date/meet with non-trans people!?

No, trans people dating other trans people is actually extremely common (both homo- and heterosexual). Often because both (or more) people often understand each others struggles and wants way better than cis people do, and simply because if you like spending time primarily in trans-heavy communities, you will likely fall for someone who's also trans.

Answering to a person who calls topics related to trans people not safe for children is now regarded as starting a flamewar (whatever this means), nice.

If you've created a service with that many users, that could be a target for malicious actors, and also hosts NSFW content, you may want to look over this article and protect yourself by forming an LLC. https://denise.dreamwidth.org/91757.html

Thanks!

I would assume most non-trans people aren't willing to date trans people, so there's probably a pretty glaring need for them to have their own spaces.

Why even keep location data at all?

One of the main selling points of the app is that you can filter posts by distance, to facilitate people meeting and talking with their community.
