You could be the one to date her. 😊

Give it time, dear. Tinder and OKCupid didn't start out with millions of people. If we all give up on Alovoa because "nobody uses it", we'll never have a private alternative to the horrors out there.

Like Mastodon is to Twitter, or Lemmy to Reddit, this is our chance to create something big for years to come, together.

That's the more reason to stick with Alovoa. The network effect will make it better. Tinder started out this way, too.

You should try Candle.

For another (lightweight) widget, try Ministocks.

Most likely. London is a huge metropolis.

I read an article a while back about how one DM on Twitter led to a happy marriage. The correspondents had no prior relationship. Just a curious DM. I'm not endorsing the use of Twitter here, especially for dating.

Dating isn't always about marriage, though, and dating platforms are also about... casual sex. Yup. One-night stands. A lot of magic can happen via online dating once the connection is there. I don't see it as inherently bad or evil.

A lot of very personal information is exchanged on these type of sites, so it's very, very important it's a private AND secure platform.

Thanks so much for this opportunity to serve! I'll try my best!

I love data privacy, FOSS, and Lemmy!

I also love ostriches. They are so cute!

What do I hate? Meta, the company. And Google. And Steve Huffman. Alexis Ohanian potentially. And Amazon. And cockroaches. And surveillance capitalism!

Let's make this lovely instance rock!

Tinder is a proprietary privacy nightmare that requires one's Facebook data for functionality. It even has its very own analytics library just to enhance the Orwellian tracking.

You don't want any of that.

If you're searching for a partner or a lover, Alovoa is the better corner of the internet to find one. It's private, secure, and vitally open-source.

You can find the service's source code here.

Alovoa has an Android and iOS app. Here is the native Android app. Its source code can be found here.

The native Android app was released fairly recently in late October last year, and appeared on F-Droid some days ago. If you encounter any bugs, report them in the Issues section of its GitHub repository.

I'm not the developer.
