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).
It’s true. At 28 I’d been dateless for 10 years, doing the sad neckbeard incel thing. One day a friend of a friend received two free tickets to a speed dating event. He didn’t want to go, but he said he would go if someone else went with him for moral support. In a very out-of-character move for me, I volunteered and went along with him. It was the first time in over 5 years I’d been to a bar. We did 5 minute dates with 15 different women. It was the most women I’ve spoken to in one night in my whole life. There was only one candidate I connected with, I submitted her as a match. The next day I got an email saying that she had matched with me too! I got her email, and chatted via email for about 6 weeks, then organised to go on a real date. The rest is history from there, we’re coming up to our 10th wedding anniversary.
So yes, going outside, interacting with people, it works. Its not a trick guys.
That’s not “going outside”, that’s going to IRL tinder
How do you think he got there? Tunnels?
