Gefühlt täglich schreibt der #Tagesspiegel über #DatingApps. #Clickbait. Funktioniert auch bei mir.
Hier vergleicht #TobiasLangleyHunt 16 dieser Apps und wie immer taucht nicht einmal das Wort #Datenschutz auf. Auch kein Wort davon, daß allein 5 der Apps zum #MatchGroup-Konzern gehören und nur 5 #EU-Firmen sind. Kein Wort zum #Datenhandel. #DSGVO my ass. Und da sollen wir unsere echten Namen, Bilder und sexuellen Vorlieben einstellen? No way.

Es ist auffällig ruhig geworden um das Thema Dating hier und das, obwohl ich mit diesem Thema quasi groß geworden bin. Aber die Wahrheit ist: Ich fühle mich aktuell einfach nicht wohl damit.⬇️

Ich hab die App jetzt wieder gelöscht. Dieses Geswipe fand ich irgendwie unmenschlich. Außerdem bin ich zu ungeduldig. Ich hab keine Lust, wochenlang Belanglosigkeiten auszutauschen, Small Talk ist einfach nicht meins. Da bleib ich lieber glücklich Single. Echt. #datingapp

🔓 Found critical vulns in Taimi (LGBTQ+ dating app) - all fixed, $10k bounty
What I found:
- "Expiring" videos didn't expire, URLs stayed valid forever
- Decrement attachment ID = anyone's private videos
- Location feature bypassed photo permission checks (why upload a map preview image through the photo system??)
- Fake system messages (made a Raid Shadow Legends sponsorship lol)
The good news: Taimi actually handled this right. Fast response, $10k bounty, everything fixed quickly. No lawyers, no threats.
This is how disclosure should work. Take notes, Lovense.

@MeierSchulze Aha. Ein Partner der Aufräumen als spannendes Rätsel empfindet könnte natürlich doch wieder interessant sein..... 🧐
Manchmal denke ich, dass das Profil auf einer #datingapp die Chancen erhöht. Aber wahrscheinlich erhöht es eher die Chance den letzten Glauben an Männer zu verlieren. -

Taimi: An LGBTQ+ Dating and Chat App
Taimi became my go-to dating app, but it did not last.
Photo by James A. Molnar on UnsplashAll dating apps suck. All of them. Without exception. So, yes, Taimi sucks too. However, they don’t all suck to the same extent, and thus Taimi, for a brief period of time, became my preferred dating app, dethroning Feeld. Alas, this was not to last.
Let’s go over my demographics. They are relevant as they color my experience on the dating apps. I’m nonbinary, pansexual, polyamorous, autistic. I’m also into BDSM. Please do not make the mistake of thinking that any of these identities implies another. There are plenty of pansexual folks who are not also polyamorous, to take just one example.
In the Google Play Store, Taimi is labeled as a LGBTQ+ Dating and Chat app. True to this label, most of the people on the app are indeed queer. However, you can also find a few cishet folks on the app too. Contrarily to Feeld, Taimi is not specifically geared towards kinky folks. At the end of the day, the difference does not matter much. There are kinky people on Taimi, just not wall-to-wall like on Feeld.
Now, let’s get into the mess of an app that Taimi is.
How It Works… Haha! As If…
I’d like to explain how it works, but any explanation on my part would be pointless. See, the Taimi developers like to use their users as lab rats. Every week, some old features disappear, and some new features appear. Or perhaps I should call these features anti-features, because a lot of them stink badly.
Here’s an example of such an anti-feature. The app presents you with a set of potential connections. You decide which parameters the candidates for connection must have: gender, age, distance, etc. For months, when you ran out of new candidates in your set, the GUI would explicitly suggest that you alter your search parameters to get more matches.
Now, it “helpfully” changes those parameters for you. You don’t do long-distance relationships? Screw that. Now you do. You don’t want to date anyone older than a certain age, or younger than a certain age? Screw that. Now you do.
At first, the app would tell you that it changed the parameters. I complained about this, and now the app changes these parameters without telling you. This is proof positive that Taimi listens to their clients. (This last line was said sarcastically.)
Another anti-feature is that the app now, from time to time, presents you with a slate of people to act on. You can pass on them, or you can all like them at once. However, you cannot look at their profile. Do they live nearby? Are they kinky? Are they compatible with you? Screw you! You cannot know.
There are more anti-features I could talk about, but I do not wish to talk about more of these. I think the anti-features I listed above give you a taste.
Annoyances and Bugs
The bio
Taimi restricts your biography to 500 characters. That’s rather pitiful. Feeld allows 1500 characters, and I find Feeld’s limit rather restrictive. I am of the opinion that such length restrictions smack of ageism. Young folks don’t have much of a life history, but us older folks do. These restrictions stink. If someone wants to infodump about their own life, let them. Maybe someone else will like it.
In addition to the restricted bio size, Taimi deleted my bio twice without warning. This is quite annoying. I regularly run into people who have no bio, but if the app is the one deleting it, I cannot blame them.
Travel
Taimi updates your location when you travel, and does not have the notion of a “home base.” Therefore, it presents the same problem as Feeld. If someone is traveling, and there is no note in their profile about this, you can waste your time with them if one of you is not into long-distance relationships.
I’ve had this problem happen at least twice. One of the person with whom I had started an Instant Chat came back saying that they were just passing through. In another case, I had initiated an Instant Chat with someone. They looked at my message but did not reply, disconnect, or block me. I checked their profile back and found that they were now several states away from me.
Just like with the case of Feeld, from the perspective of the developer, there is no reason to fix this.
Admirers
Their “Admirers” tab is laughable. I found in there someone who had admired me four times, and yet had this in their profile:
I’m fun easy going […] No poly situation. No hookups. CIS gendered men and women only please. Straight men only.
Yeah, I bet that you are “fun” and “easy going.” This person is a good example of the problem with the “bisexual” label. They identified as bisexual, which for them excludes trans folks. I don’t want to keep explaining that my definition does not exclude any gender, so I call myself pansexual.
So, this person, who had admired me four times, would, according to their own profile, not want to be with me because:
- I’m polyamorous.
- I am trans because I transitioned from male to nonbinary.
- I’m not straight.
Then there was this woman around my age who had admired me three times. I read her profile, only to find that she’s not into kink or polyamory.
Similarly, a lesbian had looked at my profile four times, according to Taimi. I’m a male-presenting enby and thus am generally incompatible with lesbians. Finally, I did start an Instant Chat with someone who I might have been compatible with, and which Taimi claimed hat look at my profile three times. They rejected me as soon as they saw my message.
In conclusion, the “Admirers” tab is mostly useless. I’m not going to hazard a guess as to why exactly.
The Ability to Instant Chat
As I mentioned above, Taimi allows you to instantly chat with someone. They do not have to like you back to initiate the possibility of chatting. As soon as you send them a message with instant chat, they can reply.
Now, the ability to instant chat is a limited resource. When I started my trial, I did not pay for a while, but I still was getting once instant chat per week. Then I paid, and I was getting three instant chats per week, but I let my subscription lapse, and now I no longer have any instant chat.
As great as this ability would seem, I’ve had no response whatsoever to the instant chats I’ve sent. By this, I mean that my message was not even read. In one case, I got an instant block, but this is it. So the instant chat feature only seems to be designed to generate revenue for the dating app.
Conclusion
Taimi is a mess of a dating app. They keep changing the features of the app, no doubt in an attempt to maximize their revenue. However, I find this approach off-putting, and it does not make me want to spend any more money on the app.

I was talking with a friend about dating apps, privacy, security and safety.
They are using Feeld, which lets you tag specific kinks -- and which changed their TOS about 2 years ago (IIRC) to specify that they sell user data. (In a massive betrayal of the trust and safety of their user base.)
My friend's response was that they aren't ashamed of who they are and if an app wants to sell their data, no big deal.
My position was that in a time of rising fascism, it's really worth thinking about how in the 1930's, IBM set up the systems to tag and sort people by "undesirable" qualities. In Germany.
I fear for people with all my heart.
For the reading comprehension impaired, let me be clear: I'm not telling anyone not to live their life. I'm saying be smart, raise your game on privacy and security, and keep yourself and your people as safe as you can in a brutal world.
@Em0nM4stodon wrote a great article on data privacy and dating apps (with a focus on queer apps but also relevant to any dating apps).
Read it, share it with your people, and act on it.

Men who date women and who use dating apps:
What advice would you give to women setting up a dating app profile to meet men?

Project idea (for the already overflowing pile), a privacy friendly dating app where instead of 1:1 matching it'll be a one to many matching. Aka you're "applying for" getting adopted by a polycule (near you).
