Strava has already exposed US military bases and found cheating partners. I have my privacy zone enabled, including the first and last 200m of runs (which invalidate lots of my segments), but I don’t mind sharing my runs. If they ain’t on Strava, they don’t exist after all ;)

One of only four accounts on Monday evening that had liked post about Rzhytsky’s last run shares the name of Major General Kyrylo Budanov – the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence.

You can’t make this up! I’ll stop sharing my runs just to be safe, thanks!

this was literally a joke in GTA, some npc got kidnapped bc he was posting his runs on social despite being a top secret government agent. and now it’s in real life too. wild.

lo fucking l

I have my runs on Garmin Connect with “only me” visibility by default, and I “unlock” individual activities manually when I want to share a link to them. I am also not following anyone there - I basically ignore all the social elements of the app.

I’ve been toying with switching to a self-hosted alternative, but haven’t found a good enough one. The closest I found to what I’d be willing to use is https://github.com/SamR1/FitTrackee.

Why is there even an app for this? People are weird
