I tried Tinder for the first time and it's genuinely awful.

- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including all information that can initiate conversations when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I'm surprised nobody has made a non-shitty version just for the love of the game. It can't be that difficult. It would be objectively better if there were no algorithm whatsoever, so you don't have to even do that part.
Easy to make an app, hard to get the network effect.
That's what Alovoa is supposed to be I think. It's completely free. Never tried it, but I assume it suffers from lack of users like all similar software.
FOSS and encrypted too, nice. I'll recommend it to people if they ask. Luckily I'm married now though.
alovoa is dead afaict, and duolicious has a nazi problem.
e: as an example of duolicious' nazi problem,
is the last profile pic i browsed before promptly deleting my account. take a careful look.
not incidentally, i later found the app was advertising to 4channers, which also helped explain the surprising number of self-described 'femcels.'
Haha I knew it. Sucks that we live in a world where the big predatory apps have loads of users but the actual good ones have none.
Never heard of duolicious but I'll be sure to steer clear.
