    Dating is among the last things i expected to be brought into the fediverse and turned open source.

      I agree but thinking about it, it’s probably the service that should be open source. Tinder and tinder parent company is messing up dating for an entire generation

      Dating-like apps come up in fedi discussions quite often. They have interesting aspects, for instance where obviously privacy is a big concern and where current generation of federated apps aren’t adequate for dating. And how do communities / instances establish their trustworthiness? There are kinds of ‘dating’ were the requirements can be less severe. Like “Meet new Friends” kind of services where e.g. you seek folks for collaborative gameplay in some MMORPG or something.

        This is interesting, I struggle to see how/why it makes sense as a federated service. What does the person hosting the instance get out of it once they’ve found a partner? Seems like an open source dating app would be better suited to a p2p implementation.
