Last year, I fell into the Fediverse-rabbithole and I really like it so far. We already have alternatives for Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit and so on.

But today I realized, there actually isn't an alternative for tinder. But I think there could be a huge demand for it. This could also motivate people to change platforms, since no one wants to buy tinder premium for a lot of money.

But I think I'm maybe not the first one coming up with this idea. What do you think about this?

Cool, didn't know that one. Maybe it's a good first step. Since it's open source, people can work with it and develope it further.

The trouble is that with this sorry of thing you really do need some form of moderation or quality control (of the users, not (only) the platform) because it will be inundated by fake profiles and nasty content.

As much as I'm cheering for Alovoa I don't see how this is solveable. 🥲

Solvable by requiring verification of every user by government ID?

Then you’d need some organization with resources to store this data? You’d still need to trust someone to do this correctly.

Oh, I was more thinking in the context of a centralized service, although technically it should be possible to do this in a federated manner too. I don't think the resources would be an issue, but the liability of holding this data would be. I don't know how that works on sites that currently do this though.
