Cuz this is some real honeypot-lookin stuff right here and makes me question if they're deeply unserious about cybersecurity and protecting their members.

Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

What is "all this information"?
You are asking a question so they need at least 1 way to contact you. Phone and email is pretty normal.
You dont need to provide as full name, you can give a fake name or just initials.
Location makes sense because you might get passed on to local people. That way they dont have to have 1 person answering every message from all over.
How do you think this should have been done?
To join any organization, you will have to put your name on a list. If you think not putting your name on a list will protect you, then you are paralyzed and incorrect.
If you dont want to fill this form, you can always do it the old fashioned way: go up to them at a public event.
