Never ever I would sign up into a social network that doesn't publish any real-world contacts. Who are you, guys? Americans? Russians? Chinese? Why should I trust you with my online life, if I don't even know, where you live, what are your names and how your faces looks like?
And, in Germany, publishing of the real-world information is mandatory.

- CitrusFruits 4y agoI mean, there's an email address and, if your really curious, you could have read the blog post linked in the main site that has my name associated with it. https://dev.to/duensing/introducing-slow-social-4a90 https://dev.to/duensing/introducing-slow-social-4a90 But I see the larger point, there's trust that needs to be built, but I think the standards are going to be different for different people. The German legal requirements are also something I didn't know about. I do my best to protect and guard the personal information, and only request what's directly relevant for the app.
