What's the alternative to warning strangers about predators?
I hear that, I just don't think this is the way to go about it. Digital reputation system that lives on some corporate dataset is just ripe for terrible problems. It's terrible for everyone's privacy when we normalize this shit.
What about people who don't use this app, do they not deserve to be protected, do they deserve to suffer because they didn't use this app?
Let's be real, this app is about gossip, it's not about protecting women and keeping them safe, it's literally in the name it's about "spilling the tea" aka gossip.
Contacting police?
As usual on Lemmy, the answer is just for women to shut up and listen to what the men want
Just goes to show how lost you are in your feminist supremacy bubble, that even leftist spaces like lemmy think this thing is creepy.
This already happened in my country, Secret was an app that got huge while I was finishing high school, an anonymous platform for people to confess private stuff, it rapidly became bully culture and libel central.
If someone doesn't want to date you because of gossip they read online, then you dodged a bullet. The garbage took itself out.
Do you think X should be shut down because some users use it irresponsibly?
Reddit?
Lemmy?
Alright, but none of that was really relevant to this comment. Why are you soapboxing on it?
You sort of started it with your comment. I don't want to be around people that feel the need to document everything on a website. Please inform those around you so they can decide to opt out.
