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:
-
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.
-
ActivityPub protocol so that anyone can run their own instance, but can also be blocked if anything heinous happens.
-
E2EE for messaging (and anything else if it’s possible).
-
Someone wrote an open-source anti-CSAM script for Lemmy recently, I hope we could adapt that to our use.
-
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).
Actually i don’t know shit about grinder. Just that it exists. But as long as it’s free (i assume?) and fair, i wouldn’t mind. Most platforms are (or end up) squeezing guys for every penny they have in hopes of finding someone. That is a system that disgusts me.
But simply technically: too few nerdy gays to build a federated grinder. And no cash to market it. And every potential gay would just be like “there’s already grinder, where is the added benefit?”
