Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
stated goal vs actual reality, it's the Nextdoor app of dating and "it's to protect us from the men" is just a convincing enough reason for you to ignore the possibility for abuses from it
i am so fucking glad I met my partner when tinder was just "swipe left swipe right no limits on that shit" because it's hard enough existing in a society and dealing with people in general, would love to date with a fucking public dossier built on me by petty aggrieved exes or literally just people making shit up for personal pleasure at another's expense
fair point i guess. i have never dealt with any of the issues you bring up so it's not something that crossed my mind. i've been the victim of abuse and violence from partners so my thoughts naturally trended to "oh i can see the utility here".
online dating seems like a nightmare i'm all too happy to miss out on.
