There is no being private in online dating, it defeats the whole point. Sure, you can use an email alias, maybe even a burner number, isolate the app in another profile and so on.
But at the end of the day, it's still you you're putting out there.
I juse a fake name, a different gender and AI generated pictures. I get a lit of invitations to meet, but refuse due to privacy concerns.
There's Alovoa but there aren't many users..
On the flip side, if you do happen to meet someone there, there's a high change that they already grasp privacy, FOSS, etc.
Is there any review out there? I'd like to see how it works aside from hearing people's opinion on it
No idea but it works along these lines:
You're using gmail, you're already screwed, might as well get laid too. But seriously, look into alias providers like simplelogin and anonaddy, it works for this use case and can smooth the transition away from gmail in the future. At the end of the day you need to make contact with potentials so it can't be truly private, plus they'll be mining your data, combining it with facebook shadow profiles etc, it's technically quite plausible to identify you from that alone. VoIP, aliases and so forth are band-aids. At the end of the day you need to make a choice, is the potential of finding someone worth more than some of your privacy ? Or...
Consider local hobby groups, hiking, meet-ups and so forth. The so called 'Third Place' (other than work and home) is on it's last legs, but it's not dead and will hopefully see a resurgence, find and partake in one. Put yourself out there.
I don't. Having a photo of my face posted online is off-limits already, but it's on the other level of dangerous when it's in a place full of horny men. ESPECIALLY when you don't even look like an adult, it creates a whole other level of creepy. No thanks.
Stop playing that kids game and play Rocket League instead. Guaranteed smurf free

Dont use the app and use the website when possible... This is true for all mobile apps
Make sure to never include your face when sending nude pics. Plenty of anonymous dick pics out there.
it’s pretty easy i just send out a bunch of messages and either get nothing back or creepy dudes being weird and sometimes unsolicited creepy dudes being weird and then i get discouraged and don’t go back to that app for a while
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
