    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?

        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.

            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.

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

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

              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.

              The real question is if the furry wants you.

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

          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 😅.

            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

            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.
