Decided to just come out and ask since the search results aren't giving me much.
The main problem I keep running into is not knowing who to trust or where to start. There's a ton of conflicting advice out there and half of it feels like it's from people who want to sell you something.
Safety and privacy are big concerns for me. I don't want to hand over personal info to some sketchy platform and regret it later.
Would really appreciate any honest takes from people who've actually tried different options.
