Can they get worse?

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?

Just need to be sure to buy all the flairs and special options and it'll surely work this year...

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.

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

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

Also, were they ever good?

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

A little late to the conversation there wired.
Match group killed most dating apps years ago when they acquired as many as possible and turned them all into tinder clones, literally removing useful features, not even including them in "premium" versions.
Hinge was the last to hold on to being "acceptable" to those that used it (I need more profile than pictures so I didn't care for it) but I guess that's changed now too.
Monetizing human needs never ends well... Seeking a partner is a human need and these corpo fucks know it and drooled over the prospect of exploiting it. I gave up on them a few years ago so I'm just staying single I guess.

For a short time until they get enough market share and they switch on monetization.

Probably not great ever, but Plenty of Fish yielded some decent prospects when it was nothing more than a web based classified ad. But those days are long gone.

Furries just use barq instead

Tell me you haven't used a dating site in 15 years without telling me you haven't used a dating site in 15 years

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

The real question is if the furry wants you.

Yeah, the dating apps are monetized to all hell, you guys have called it right.
I was on them a decade ago, and I'm classically handsome, mentally stable, good job, etc; went looking for a serious partner with similar life goals, and all I got was catfishing and trolls.
After I subscribed to the premium tier, I began getting messages from real people but I was so disgusted by the transparent greed that I swore off all dating websites and services and went the offline route, meeting my current SO through real life friends at a social event.
Starve the beast, as the conservatives say. Deny them their money.
