Are Dating Apps Getting Worse?

Does anyone have suggestions for anything decent dating wise since I'm sure lots of people seeing this post also want to find the best ways to date?
I found my girlfriend last October on hinge. What really made that app work for me are the ice breakers. Putting effort into a profile that highlights who you are will at some point attract the right people. And using ice breakers prompts to start a conversation was always kind of fun to check out the conversation vibe.
But it really took some effort getting started, working on my communication skills and exploring what I really like in a partner and what I like about me. It took me a year and tons of dates that weren’t a fit though.

Going out, doing stuff you like and talking to people. I love raves, so that's where I generally meet people for dates. I've gotten dates at board game evenings, doing sports, or in a museum.
You just gotta talk to someone who has caught your eye. Make sure to let them know you find them attractive and if it's mutual you've got a thing. Rejections are normal and okay, at this point I'm more comfortable with them than actually going on a date

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.
Perhaps some sort of digital glory hole could work?

GETTING worse? No. They hit rock bottom like 5 years ago. You're just NOW figuring this out???
Maybe the author had been in a relationship for more than 5 years.

But maybe could be a good place for furry dating.

All non-free and open source apps made by for-profit entities always get worse.
I think Steam is an outlier here. It'll probably get worse eventually, but it's pretty decent right now.

Or gave up on dating apps a long time ago.

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.

Not worth it. Stay on Linux and get a Fleshlight.
Hey, you can try out FreeBSD, maybe you'll find a cute little beastie.

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

You're the furry, aren't you
Maybe the real furries are the internet strangers we met along the way.

I suggest getting a dog and giving up on dating

The best dating app is not being interested in having a relationship and playing video games until you randomly stumble across a switch gaming discord and randomly fall in love with your best friend and they like you back 🥴

I never really had trouble getting dates on Tinder, etc., but very few of those led to second dates. Of the people I've dated that I met without the help of apps, I probably would've "swiped left" on most of them. As another user said, general human interaction is my current route, focusing my energy on social interactions where I can meet people the old fashioned way: mostly friends of friends. That can range from get togethers at someone's house, happy hours, general meetup groups, volunteering, hobbies and/or classes.
This, I think I had over 100 first dates and maybe 10 second dates. I’m not a catfish by any means, but I think people just come off differently over text than in-person, it can be kind of a whiplash.
