Ok I don't think about these safety matters because around here is quiet, everyone know everyone by a degree or another. We think as community not as individuals and we work for the benefits of the community and future generations to come.
It makes sense that in bigger centers, it is harder to build trust with other parties. One must establish themselves as such or provide a service professionally to build a reputation.
In my case, when there's no one available, I use online tools like Robosats and Bisq. Just with these options, one really no need for more exposure.
Fair point. English is not my first language, so I usually write what I want to say myself and then check it with Google Translate and AI to make sure the English is clear. But I am a real person. The projects, experiments, screenshots, opinions and questions I post are mine. I just do not want to use the wrong words or awkward sentences and end up expressing something different from what I actually mean.
If that's true (we get lots of folks running bots that here to scam and deceive people into thinking they're people which is despicable ... I don't want to help bots or be generous to bots nor do I suspect others do), I recommend being more strict and preventing them from doing more than literal translation, because most of your content reads as disingenuous. It reads like you're prompting "how should I reply" over and over or running a more automated bot with a human in the loop.
That can work, but I think meeting in person still carries its own risks. Even someone you know may not always be as trustworthy as you think. There was a recent case in Mexico where a family was allegedly killed because of their Bitcoin holdings. Stories like that are a reminder that privacy is not the only concern. Physical safety matters too. For me, knowing someone personally would reduce some risk, but it would never remove it completely.
