What would a FOSS dating app look like?
I haven’t tried it, but there is one: https://github.com/Alovoa/alovoa
Unlikely. I have always found dating sites pretty uncomfortable.
Even in the best scenarios, there were never any people who shared my interests. Now I’m older/kinda exhausted of it. :3
If I was younger and still trying, I imagine I would want something that felt less like being in a display case, visually. Maybe also making people who didn’t share any of my values or interests unable to swipe.

would be cool for meeting local foss nerds, if theres any
“David has requested your public key, do you accept?”
How do you think Alice and Bob met?
In an insecure love triangle with Mallory.
I think it would be mostly men. I like the idea of it though.
Men and trans girls
I feel like it would be almost impossible for the app ti reach critical mass in any local area
As an experiment - try setting up a dating community on Lemmy - report back with how that goes.
Why did I automatically imagine that hot dog gif…
To be fair there is a decent amount of people here who may enjoy that though. Straight males would likely struggle here like most other dating sites.
Do lemmons even need a dating community?
Literally just a dating app without the hidden algo that keeps people onboard and no payment. It could be federated.
Hopefully none of that “subscribe to see more matches” bs
Oh, and one of the generic message prompts is “What Linux distro do you use?”
Instead of assessing compatibility I assume it would include ideological purity tests.
The problem is most people are lazy and don’t understand anything. They just use the app they know, even if it sucks.
If you got it to be popular it could work , but I don’t see how you could.
I don’t think I’m into dating apps
Sure, why not.
What would it look like? Same as the others, text field for description, pictures, interests.
If it’s foss, I would want to see a https://reproducible-builds.org/ or some other method of verifying the accuracy of the process. Getting no matches would be better than the fake stuff the others do.
