Basically title, every bit of online dating nowadays is either Match or Meta, and we’re all about breaking corporate chains right?

So these are the thoughts I had:

  1. Matches based on simple user selection: age range, lifestyle, hobbies etc. None of that dumb algorithm stuff that makes you reset your profile every month.

  2. ActivityPub protocol so that anyone can run their own instance, but can also be blocked if anything heinous happens.

  3. E2EE for messaging (and anything else if it’s possible).

  4. Someone wrote an open-source anti-CSAM script for Lemmy recently, I hope we could adapt that to our use.

  5. Just, like, everyone have a good time on this app, we’re here for love lol

I am not a coder, so I would have no idea how to do this, but I wonder about the interest in such a creation. Maybe some of you out there could make something I could use to get a date (pls).

    Tried multiple, basically it doesn’t matter how good the app is, but where the people are. Different apps are popular in different places.

    Everyone you haven’t met is a stranger, it doesn’t matter what strangers think. Just take your photos and make a profile, don’t worry about it. Get the profile going and just see what happens, no pressure, all strangers anyway.

    It doesn’t matter if you don’t like your own photos, your not trying to match with yourself. We are our own worst critics, other people are more forgiving.
