Tinder is a proprietary privacy nightmare that requires one’s Facebook data for functionality. It even has its very own analytics library just to enhance the Orwellian tracking.
You don’t want any of that.
If you’re searching for a partner or a lover, Alovoa is the better corner of the internet to find one. It’s private, secure, and vitally open-source.
You can find the service’s source code here.
Alovoa has an Android and iOS app. Here is the native Android app. Its source code can be found here.
The native Android app was released fairly recently in late October last year, and appeared on F-Droid some days ago. If you encounter any bugs, report them in the Issues section of its GitHub repository.
I’m not the developer.
I did find the idea of a FOSS dating app intriguing, so I wanted to give it a spin, but it seems the site is offline since yesterday?
I was unable to find a status, or similar, page too, and the twitter account doesn’t seem very active.
Is this the first “Lemmy hug of death” or just a weird coincidence? Hahaha
That Twitter link… is that a Nitter instance?
Indeed, it is a Nitter instance. I find Nitter a lot better than Twitter’s interface.
I used to use this list to find functional instances, but it seems they recently archived the repository.
UntrackMe has a list of Nitter instances. The app hasn’t been updated in a while, though.
We also have our own Nitter instance here: https://t.donttrackme.fossware.space
Along with a Teddit instance: https://r.donttrackme.fossware.space
And last, but not least, we also provide Piped: https://y.donttrackme.fossware.space
Amazing. Thank you!
