Feeld exploit - safety risk with new update.
Post Body
If you use feeld, please be careful!
I have discovered an exploit with the new update where any profile that you have ever connected with can access your profile and message you.

As someone in product development, it’s horrifying that this got through user research, design, product, QA, and eng without anyone flagging the safety concerns.
I’ve encountered a few distasteful folks in Feeld chat, and knowing they could see my profile or attempt to restart conversations is upsetting.

Also frankly, I think most women, non-binary, or queer folk could have pointed this out as a safety issue. So either their product team is mostly straight men, or their staff are a bunch of naïfs. Disappointing any way you get at it
I’ve worked at startups much smaller than them that had these considerations. I know not everyone is diligent but it’s so frustrating knowing that it is actually possible to not deliver features that put user safety at risk
