"this community can help combat racism, sexism, anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination and discrimination against those with mental illness with four lines of code"
Privacy is in everyone's interest and is a fundamental requirement for freedom.
That's not to say that the groups you identified don't need privacy but if that's the reason you are doing this, then I'm glad you made the right decision and made it for a good intention, but you really missed the boat.
Or it's just a convenient way to avoid having to provide any other kind of justification. As in: How could you argue against them combating racism? Don't you want to combat racism? What are you, some kind of a bigot? Burn him, he's a witch!
People will always seek to control the mob to suit their own interests.
Any way to classify people is useful for people that want to control others, what ever politic side, religious side, ideological side you or them are. Sooner or later, that info can and will be abused.
