Pretty much in the title. Maybe you wouldn’t even use it, but would like to simply see it exist for the sake of having a federated alternative.
For me, it’d be the following:
- Meetup
- Tiktok
I am on the first two, but would prefer a federated alternative. I’m not on Tiktok, but would like to see a federated alternative.
I’ll admit these might not be a good idea. But as a thought experiment, I’d be curious about the community weigh in on what you all think this might look like.
tinder/grindr
grindr in particular would be tricky! the location data has to be kept safe from bulk collection and targeting, but public for limited queries
it also has to update fairly quickly
Maybe base it on IP, it’s not like that sort of data is private either way, and gives you a general location I feel
IP is still information you don’t want falling into just anyone’s hands… the issue is you don’t want a big list of people, locations, and “dating” metadata all gathered in a single place - ESPECIALLY if that information includes things like sexual orientation, and in the case of grindr, HIV status etc
