Haven’t read through it in the entirety but found it on another site I trust. Figured it may be of use to others here.

    Yeah. Dating sits and social media sites need to be kept separate. If someone is in a poly or open relationship, more power to them. But the vast, vast majority of the population, including most trans people, don’t have any interest in that sort of thing. And most people in monogamous relationships would see their partner being on a dating app to be a huge betrayal of trust and fidelity. To try and blur the line between dating apps and social media just seems like a terrible idea.

      I don’t know what circles you roll in, but from what I’ve seen the majority of trans folks are polyamorous or open. I do agree with your other points though, that combining social media and dating features is a terrible idea.

      I’m also really questioning the fact it doesn’t appear to be open source at all, in an era where there are so many different fedi projects that could just be used with a custom frontend/app.

      Edit: I was wrong, the app is indeed open source: https://gitea.com/t4t

        That repo doesn’t seem to list a license yet, so more like source available. They might have just not decided how they want to license it yet, so I’m at least mildly hopeful.
