 Stopped using Strava a while ago. Not feeling to good about using Garmin connect, but trying to be as private as possible there.

 It alsi shows how people close to you with lower security and privacy standards will compromise yours if using digital systems to communicate, share, play and record life.
 
 Thanks for sharing Anita. What’s the freedom tech version of Strava? 
 Maybe it needs to be built 🥷 
 I still use Strava.  I acknowledge that it reduces my privacy and I hate using a closed platform, but I feel like I personally get a lot of benefit from seeing the activities of other people in my area, both friends and strangers.  If I benefit from them, they may benefit from seeing my activity. 
 Strava has lots of privacy options. The problem is people don’t bother to turn them on.
