Do you do OSINT¹ before going on a date with / meeting someone in person?

¹ Open-source intelligence (e.g. web searches, background checks, social media tracking, etc)

² I've opted to split this into masc/femme-presenting categories; please pick whichever you think is closer to your typical presentation.

³ If this poll doesn't resonate with you, don't worry, there'll be others.

@alice I’m femsy-leaning masc; my dates are invisible online, or hard to search for, or they come from scenes where the OSINT is automatic. As implied, I do have a risk calculation. My inner girl protects me from cis-fem toxicity.
