Is it safe to talk to people with this warning?

We recommend you avoid sharing your contact details.

In case any user asks you to send money to them, or asks for sensitive information such as your address or password, please use extreme caution. Be very careful of the amount of trust you put in someone you met online, as scams and other malicious activities are very common online. If you suspect that a user is trying to scam you, please report the message immediately, by pressing Report at the bottom of the message, and do not reply to that user anymore.

SW does have some rather blunt-instrument warnings apparently triggered just by word-association, but this one might respond to warnings sent to the administrators by users.

Really though, that advice is appropriate for all Internet and telephone use.No genuine person or organisation would ever ask you for your address, password, etc. outside of its own bona-fide activities like on-line buying.
