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.

So list a city?

I'm wondering if it's more or less safe (from doxxers attacking individual users, or the entire service being compromised) to share location with this app vs. Lex. In any case I chose not to share location yet, and don't know if Lex is any safer (they require location).
