#chatroulette — Public Fediverse posts

@strypey I nearly joined #Chatroulette, but then Covid and the Ukraine war started, so that never went anywhere. I had a different direction I wanted to take them, though.

#Bumble #TrustAndSafety ? Well, the industry isn't exactly full of dating site whistleblowers, but safety workers in the industry do talk to me. I know more than I would ever want to know about the inside workings of most dating sites, and sadly. It's not really an amazing revelation that Bumble is as bad as the rest, though.

None of the dating sites puts more than a veneer of effort into T&S. They weigh the cost of litigation against the cost of actually doing the work, and so far, litigation costs have always been lower.

Speaking of roulette, what about a Chat Roulette style speed-dating app?

The app could;

* perform some basic T&S vetting (to minimise unsolicited dick-cam, etc), including confirming what general area you're in (ask me how!)

* throw you into a round of realtime speed dating with others in your area (text? Voice? Video? see 4/4).

* As with normal speed dating, if you both Favourite each other after talking, you get each others' contacts
