I feel like birthdays being public is a safety concern

I know its cool highlighting ppl on their birthday but having your exact day, month, and year (age) visible is cause for cyber security concern. this could be dangerous idk. im an anxious person and I have been overthinking this and its kinda making me hesitant about keeping my account. is anyone else worried? I think the ppl in charge of the site should do something to protect our info/ at least let us opt out of having the exact month and day visible.

maybe someone could email them abt this and make a suggestion to have an optional private button for your age and whatnot

@Danni is Dead yea that's a good idea. I hateee emailing ppl tho X(

@Zoe_Zombie [glmrklldUS!] same.. </3

i never really thought about it but you def have a point!! and like danni said, i think having an option to make it private would be a good idea. maybe even setting it to private by default if youre a minor? since i feel like its even more important for minors on social media to have as little personal info out there as possible

gingrcat :3

I would also like an option to keep my birthday from popping up on the home page. Thank you for posting this!

✨💖✨✌️✨

how about instead of actual birthday data (and yes it's 100% a valid concern op, you aint overthinkin)

getting notified about frenrewin signup anniversaries???

i'd much prefer that tbh <33

hmmm, maybe have it as an option to show or disable?
and have both sign up date and birthdays be a celebration!
also the option to not have it show up on the front page for both of them
or for both of them to not show at all! yeah smth like that

I can agree with this! 

I understand entirely that ages being available is a necessity for the various safety features of the site to function. But having exact birthdays isn't really a necessity. 

Hell, having a toggle even just for people who are shy and don't want an annual spotlight broadcasted to strangers is enough for me to give this one a big ol' thumbs up 👍

Yeah, having the option to opt out would be wonderful!

Bump, medium priority😅

✨💖✨✌️✨

@Rose✨  lol

Does anyone know if anything pops up? any of yall had a birthday here recently that showed up on the main screen?

Yeah i agree, would be nice if there is a prompt before it happens that asks if you ok with it, unless its already there and we asking for something we aint even seen happen yet. 

@⸸⸸⸸𝕶𝖎𝖑𝖑𝖌𝖆𝐳𝖒𝖔𝖙𝖗𝖔𝖓⸸⸸⸸ There’s a whole “happy birthday!” home screen section, brother

✨💖✨✌️✨

@Rose
Right, im asking if anyone here was on there. maybe it already says something to you before hand?
and if it doesn't then yes, it would be nice if it did. 
As i wrote above. lol. i am well aware of that section on the main screen. 

@⸸⸸⸸𝕶𝖎𝖑𝖑𝖌𝖆𝐳𝖒𝖔𝖙𝖗𝖔𝖓⸸⸸⸸ Oh I see. Beforehand? I doubt it!

✨💖✨✌️✨

@Rose
right right. lets hope that he does if he hasnt already. (give you a prompt right before blasting you on the homescreen). 

I, too, would enjoy a birthday opt-out, or at least a "friends only" mode.

There was more complaints than just here about it, I just ripped it out entirely. (: 

@Def3ct AW DAMN, I actually enjoyed the birthday feature. Hopefully we can see a return of it with the option for people to opt out, and if possible to have it listed from most frequently active to least active (if they opt in)

@Jamz💋 I enjoyed it too, but too much info to exploit being out there. If there wasn't an 'opt out', or even better, an 'opt in' requiring active consent, then it's good that it's gone.
