Hi, can you let me know why communities like yours demand a linked in profile to join? I use no social media whatsoever and it blocks me from enjoying communities such as yours. It makes me feel further isolated as a woman in tech who is also strongly privacy-oriented. I understand the need to verify, however could you provide a link perhaps where manual verification could be offered?

You can add a link to a personal website or github profile instead. We'll update language to reflect that. Thanks for the feedback. Please do email us at hi@elpha if you've got other questions. Thanks.

Please do. I asked this exact question a while ago and no change was made to the sign-up form. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19080420
