  • Decentralized dating apps is a good way to make women feel incredibly unsafe. Not only is the fedi a more techy nerd crowd, it also has massive moderation issues. It’s one bad thing to spam an instance with CP. It’s even worse when you can make a fake profile to stalk someone with zero accountability and potentially put them in physical danger, while also being unbannable. I’m sure a rapist/stalker/murderer would totally be stopped by defederating their instance, right? They’d just spam multiple accounts for their target.

    Moderation is extremely important here, and so is attracting a crowd which makes or breaks it, which the fedi is 100% not going to ever do. How would the fedi and developers respond if there was even a single rape/murder as a result of their platform and weak moderation? The whole thing would probably collapse.

    Meet up groups are similar but not as targeted. That wouldn’t be a bad idea though, since I guess someone leaving up a poster in town or something is kind of a form of that.
