Dating is among the last things i expected to be brought into the fediverse and turned open source.

I agree but thinking about it, it’s probably the service that should be open source. Tinder and tinder parent company is messing up dating for an entire generation

Pretty much every dating app is owned by Match Group. They own Match (obviously), Tinder, Meetic, OkCupid, Hinge, Plenty of Fish, Our Time, The League, Black People Meet, and more.

Being a for-profit company they don’t have an incentive to work well. If they did, they’d figure out which way works the best, and funnel everyone there and close down the others. Instead, they just get people to bounce around all these sites and go nowhere.
