  1. Was doing some thinking about the #fediDating tag. I almost wonder if the reason it doesn't really work is cuz ppl aren't including enough information in their posts?

    Like, I scroll through it sometimes, and nobody is really explaining where they're from, or how old they are, or what genders they're after, and what kinda thing they're after.

    Or maybe there's a deeper story to why the tag doesn't really work? Thoughts?

  11. This heat wave has to be hell on single people who care about COVID-safe meet-ups.

    "Let's go hang out outside and be hot, sweaty messes together -- but not in a sexy way."

    If you're COVID-aware and outdoor dating, how are you managing?'

  16. @alice

    a #FediDating platform would be awesome!

    Features I would love include the basic intro to feel how we can thrive together and give back to the world. Maybe ability to post a few pictures of what we like, such as a shot of our open source laptop, pets, bicycling, hiking, etc...

    What features do I not want? Identity scraping sold to lists and billionaires that attempt to capture our basic freedoms and exploit our mere existence. What safety features do I need to feel safe? The ability to avoid having my identity included in a list sold to billionaire think tanks used to control my future.

    That's about it :blobcatrainbow:

  21. Older gentleman -- in his 50s -- in BC's Okanagan. CISHET. Established. Working from home for the past 20+ years. Zero debt. Raised 4 kids. Pretty sure somewhere significant on the autism spectrum though never officially tested. Don't smoke. Very rarely drink.

    Looking for friend(s). Wanting to go biking. Or into programming. To hang out. Listening to 80s and 90s pop and electronic music. Pretty sure the 80s was just 5-10 years ago, though the math somehow doesn't seem to add up.

    Asking for a friend. May be me. :)

    Inquire within.

  26. You know why we need some kind of Fedi dating app?

    Because being brilliant, informed, passionate, talented, and caring about others is sexy. And there are legions of people here who shine that way.

  31. I was talking with a friend about the phenomenon of Finding Love in the Fediverse (I have several friends who have done it) — and he was shocked to hear it was even a thing.

    That conversation's got me curious, so I want to open the question up:

    Has anyone ever slid into your DMs respectfully and appropriately on Fedi? Have you ever initiated that kind of contact yourself?*

    *I'm truly talking about appropriate, welcome, consensual connections, not randos harassing people. If you don't understand the distinction, I recommend that you stay out of this conversation and just quietly read and learn. (Anyone who responds with how women are mean to them will be recognized as a derailing troll and blocked accordingly -- hush, the adults are talking )

  41. I don't think, that it will work. My native language is Russian (and I live in Russia), but I don't believe, that I can found **long-term** relationship with a girlfriend here.

    In fact, I no longer believe that I will ever be happy in my life.

    But I don't like being alone, so I decided to try it. I like astronomy, economics, you can read my description, BDSM is not essential for me (just DS/psydom/femdom kink sometimes).

    I'm handsome and smart 🥹

  43. One of my main gripes with dating apps is that most of them don't give you enough space in the profile to express yourself. Like I feel like my Fediverse/Mastodon profile gives more space to succinctly express my values and interests. And my Mastodon posts and boosts reveal more info about me that is relevant in a looking-for-significant-other/soulmate context than silly dating app questions or prompts.

    Maybe this has been done already and I am out of the loop, but what if we did some sort of "Fedi-dating" thing where we use a specific hashtag, e.g. #fedidating in a post that contains a blurb and basic/outline dating info/preferences/etc. We can also use hashtags for our location, like for me I would use #chicago.

    I realize that there are significant privacy concerns with this with regard to posting personal and even intimate details on the public Internet. But it's just an idea, maybe we can build upon it, or discard it entirely, I dunno.

  48. @flo @fesix Ich persönlich warte/hoffe ja noch auf das #FediDating... also ein #Dating-Konzept, das mehr in die normalen Sozialen Medien integriert ist und keine komplett eigene/separierte Welt wie bisherige #Datingseiten, wo man zwar nach 🍆-Größe, nicht aber nach bestimmten Interessen filtern kann. Aktuell ist Dating zu sehr Selbstzweck und viel zu oberflächlich.

    Und vielleicht bringt ja Mastodon auch irgendwann noch mal Circles...
