I mean the more awkward privacy layer: coworkers, mutual friends, family friends, people from the same ethnic community, church/community group, professional circle, suburb, or rural town seeing your profile before you’ve chosen to share anything. Does that actually affect whether you use apps, or is it not a big deal in practice?
If you do care about privacy, how do you handle it today?
Do you use mainstream apps anyway, keep your profile vague, avoid apps, rely on friends/events, or just accept that people might see you?
I’m especially curious whether this feels different in smaller cities/suburbs, diaspora communities, or tight professional circles.
