I have a bad feeling when I hear about them. My golden rule is never change the platform with anyone when I am on here. And don't exchange phone numbers or other personal information.
I find it difficult if there are spaces without moderators. I don't know all the communities related to SaSu I never was in one. But I heard a lot of horror stories of discord channels where abuse happened frequently. And I could imagine SaSu is a good place to hunt for vulnerable people. Someone who was later exposed as bad actor wanted to talk with me on discord. And I declined.
There might be reasons why people want to talk outside this forum. This website is often down. Or subgroups can form themselves. But I think the possible outcomes are pretty dangerous.
I talked with some people in private conversations in the past and many of them were quite paranoid about safety. Some feared the private conversations are monitored and unsafe. My personal opinion is the way bigger risk is changing the platform. Or meeting people from on here in real life. Exchanging too much private data, pictures and stuff like that.
I am not sure why people think it was a good idea to create telegram chat groups with people on here. I am really not a big fan of this idea. And I don't pretend all of them were created by bad actors. But a small (?) amount of communities are probably created to target vulnerable people on purpose. And I read a lot about accelerationists online (764 community) who search for vulnerable people like us to drive them over the edge. Very sick stuff.
Stay safe. Stay cautious.
