Who’s working on the disruptive replacement to these systems that is open source and non-profit?
- lotsofpulp 2y agoIt’s just expanding one’s network and recommending good, filtered matches to one another.

- kelseyfrog 2y agoThe problem is that swiping is super stimulus that hijacks our dopamine circuit. The perfect replacement already exists and it's OkCupid circa 2006. A giant database of genuinely interesting questions and a way to display other users who share similar answers. The method works, but it's not as dopamine rich and thus monetizable as swiping. Still, I believe there's potential. No one's tried making a dating service backed by the fediverse as far as I know, and an OkVerse would be a fun weekend project.
