I don't know who needs to hear this, but the #fediverse does not need a dating app. Please please please do not create a dating app here at least until we fix some fairly substantive issues around trust and safety.

@hrefna That is a mind-bendingly bad idea. I almost want to see it happen just to watch the train-wreck, and then I feel bad for thinking that, because it would be actually just plain bad.

The FOSS user-empathy-free design.

The complete misapplication of cryptography.

Some dodgy dude running a server and reading the DMs.

Trust and safety being planned for v2.

A careful design being hard, so the only implementation is someone YOLOing.

I'm deliberately not even scratching the surface.

Ugh.
