They haven't worked since all becoming for profit, rather than for... dating. Turns out setting people up should really be charity work, not for profit.

Maybe there should be a fediverse dating app?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Ah yes. A userbase of 45 global users, all of whom are argueing over linux distros, and none of them will speak one word when a woman walks into the room.

But maybe could be a good place for furry dating.

Perhaps some sort of digital federated glory hole could work?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Be very careful wheb defederating

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

To shreds you say?

I'm prepared to use Windows 11 if it'll get me laid.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If that’s the criteria, those of us who cover many operating systems will be in high demand. Hot girls in my area want to see my home lab

Good thing I got married before revealing just how mono-OS I am, don't even have much Linux distro variety, everything is openSUSE.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not worth it. Stay on Linux and get a Fleshlight.

Hey, you can try out FreeBSD, maybe you'll find a cute little beastie.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure there is a FOSS dating app, but I can't remember the name of it.

I doubt it has a half decent userbase though.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Alovoa is the name.

Bots everywhere, randomly breaks every other week, accounts may of may not vanish if you looks at the logo the wrong way...

Got a match, conversation was going well, got ghosted. Still no idea why 😅.

Well shit. I just wrote up a long ass comment about why it probably sucks, but then decided I might as well try it out first. I created an account, but it won't let me log in. I enter my email and password, then it makes me do a captcha, then it just says, "An error occured. Please try again." I've tried multiple times and I guess I give up now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Ok, zero matches within 100km, and I live just outside a major US city. Of course I’m probably not the typical age …. But it must be those pesky metric units, they mean nothing here

There's a thousand nerds, two furries and a woman.

The real question is if the furry wants you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Maybe the real furries are the internet strangers we met along the way.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I feel like you're vastly underestimating the number of flurries on the fediverse.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Not even the fediverse, I have a furry coworker, and they have a whole community thing going on. They do exist in real life, not just the weird corners of the fediverse.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Furries just use barq instead

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

maybe furry nerds were only counted as nerds

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I don't know I assumed there were twice as many furries as women.
