Comment on How do yall go about meeting new people while still maintaining a decent level of privacy?

  That's not a common idea of what's "normal", no. And I don't mean anything bad by that - people give so few shits about privacy/security it's ridiculous, and I empathize with that, but it is what it is. The point of the thread is that OP's reluctance to use all the data stealer apps is isolating them to some degree, or at least requiring significant workarounds.

    Yes, still the question “What are you doing with these people…” is not really relevant. OP’s responsible approach to privacy is not something that needs questioning.

      Why not? This person is cramming security apps down the throats of new people they meet.

      Just wondering what kinds of conversations they are having with these people they hardly know that justifies needing this much privacy?

      I feel like there is a time where worrying about privacy is valid. That time isn’t with people you just met. Especially when you’re just having light hearted conversations, because you know, you just met them?

        I don’t think they’re concerned that some deep secret is going to get out. They’re concerned that their communication is used for commercial purposes in a totally uncontrollable way.

      That's fine, but it doesn't change the fact that it is objectively not normal.

      You can believe that it should be normal, but that's a very different claim.

        Yes, I don’t think we’re in disagreement here. I was just trying to tie it all to the beginning of the discussion.
