Incautious advertising: Just actually saying state (or non-US equivalent) or nearest major metropolitan area in public presence. This is mostly only dangerous if the being has poor opsec to begin with - general geographic region can narrow down search attempts, but almost every very general region on Earth has enough beings that finding and identifying a single one conclusively should be relatively difficult. Though, of course, this will vary depending on population density and local prominence in addition to opsec quality.
Community coordination: An E2EE chat room, for the explicit purpose of radqueers sharing very general location info, getting to know others in their general area, and meeting up if they establish enough trust between each other. This would already be drastically safer than doing it in total public, as only actual members would be able to see, eliminating casual data slurping from the equation and enabling the owner to ban individuals known to have or strongly suspected of malicious intent. This could be made even safer by only admitting beings with some amount of recognizance in the first place, either within the community or with other existing members, to increase the barrier to entrance for antis and glowies and weed out all but the high-effort ones. Or, there could be both chats, to serve different levels of user threat model.
Educated Self-service: More or less what we have now, with radqueers needing to just make friends online, carefully, feel them out and establish trust, then mention their general location to see if it's anywhere close - 🤞 and hope. But we could improve it by providing guidance on how to think about doing this optimally - tips on how to recognize potential malicious actors, guidelines for exactly what to reveal and after what level of trust, that kind of thing.
Note that none of these options are mutually exclusive. We could just do all of them, and let beings pick the option that best fits their own comfort levels and safety needs. But that said, any of these are always going to be more dangerous than not meeting up. Beings can be not who they say they are, beings can change, and beings can have mental issues that cause them to lash out using sensitive information as a weapon. Antis and glowies will both want to take advantage of the additional vulnerabilities any of these paths expose. And, of course, there are the anti-cs, who have been well established at this point to be treacherous in the majority. It'd be foolish to deny that reality.
Nevertheless, as hard as it is, if we want this community to actually move forward, towards becoming more tight-knit and bringing about the offline well-being improvements we both know are possible, we're going to have to suck it up and deal with that. Those doing this are making the decision that it's better to take a chance with drastically improved well-being as a potential prize, and given how many of us are in existential danger from loneliness, I think the interest is there.

Now that my instance is back up and not crashing, if anyone sent me any replies or dms and I didn't respond you might have to send them again
How do we encourage radqueers to meet each other without doxxing themselves
Meeting other radqueers was the best thing that other happened to me, and I wish so bad that everyone else could experience it
Oh noooo I'd hate to wake up one of these days to vi taking advantage of me while I'm asleep
I'd absolutely hate for her to see this public post oh no

why do men flirt with memes
my aam friend told me that i'm "becoming a pedo celebrity" lol
the state of my activism right now is a bit messy. i decided that with so much on my plate i should recruit some folks to help out to try and even out the workload, and with so many ideas i'm stepping back a bit and not doing as much direct work, and trying to take more of a producer approach. with Bt+ i need to make some fixes to the website. it's down rn, but the soft launch was supposed to be so i could identify bugs and fix them anyways.
i've been really busy lately so i haven't really worked on Bt+ lately. my to-do list is lengthy, and the thing eating up most of it is social, which is a good thing! interpersonal relationships in the community and networking are very important. in March i met Possum and someone else, then in April I met Violet. this month i'm meeting another big community member, next month i'm meeting another popular community member, and then in July i should be meeting Anyo and someone else. so with a line-up like this it should be unsurprising that i haven't had much time to work lately, and that i'm thinking of stepping back my direct involvement with activism. my current goal for myself, as mentioned, is to manage a bunch of different projects. there's a podcast in the works, a blog, and one or two other things, which i know sounds like a lot, but i'm getting a lot of people involved.
to top it all off, i've been very busy lately because i've found love in Anyo and Violet <3. which i wouldn't trade for the world
so all that, on top of already working a 40 hour a week job, has been very taxing, some of it good, but it's led me to become a bit burnt out, so i've been relaxing lately, playing games, making music, etc. hoping to move soon, i don't know when, but it's something i'm also trying to look into. if i've seemed absent lately you should now know why. everyday i look at my to-do list and try to arrange it in a way that makes since lol, but i'm taking care of something that's been haunting me for a while, which should let me focus again on more activism and radqueer stuff
i've been thinking a lot lately about the aforementioned media. i wanna do a podcast, webcomic, and blog. also been thinking a lot about radqueer events, something i wanna take more of a hands-on approach on, for now. i wanted to do something for june but it ended up not working on financially, transportationally, or time-wise. but once i'm in the city again it should be real. i still am planning on going to pride this year, and wearing some radqueer pride, but i won't be running any booths or anything
that's all that's been on my mind lately, thanks for reading
