if not somebody should create one!!

like a Firefox for dating.

if our communist comrades made it, we could slip in commie propaganda and sex positive stuff too. and you could still make money off of generic ads in the app that like, sex toy makers purchase, or cheap ads for like Democracy Now! etc.

Every time this subject comes up, the concern of FBI honey-potting also arises.

aw yeah I don’t mean it for this website specifically or anything. just as a general different business model for a dating app that would suck less.

Apparently you can use hexbear DMs as a dating app, somehow, gotta be honest - yall are cool, love reading your posts, but I’m not sure if I ever want to be publicly identified as a hexbear user lmao this is my dirty secret

Fine okay some of yall need to also not be a creep about it. This is why I refuse to slide into anyone’s DMs lol

I mean, majority of people are going ti be on mainstream apps. Idk if you want an app that has very few users

I’d honestly rather an app that’s just for Communists and maybe some very imperialism-aware anarchists, because I got sick of going on dates with people who thought they were leftists but then turned out to just be radlib intersectional imperialists

Not trying to be mean, but an app like that sounds like heaven for bad actors—both state and private. I wouldn’t want to be on a communist dating app, even though I fully agree the idea is rad. It just seems super unsafe to me, unless I’m missing something.

No I agree you’re right, I’ve just had such bad experiences with liberals I was thinking wishfully

I think a lot of people are looking for, and would use, alternatives that don’t try and get you to pay premium style fees for more matches/access/features, you know?

like if you advertised it as “no costs ever, free to use, unlimited matches/swipes/access” I think people would appreciate that and it could get big.

I tried Alovoa and it seemed not to work. Like the app itself. I can’t recall the problem. Has anyone been able to to confirm basic functionality?

I just reinstalled it since I mentioned it again. Seems to work fine. It looks like they have a lite version as well.
