Been searching around and couldn't find a clear consensus, so figured I'd ask here directly. Plenty of Fish still has one of the largest active user bases despite the platform feeling dated.
Bumble's desktop version is fully functional and syncs perfectly with the mobile app. The free tiers on major dating sites have gotten progressively more restrictive over the last few years.
Things I keep in mind for safety:
- Reverse image search is your best friend for quickly vetting any profile photo.
- A VPN helps with general browsing privacy but isn't a complete anonymity solution.
- Platforms with active moderation and real reporting tools are worth prioritizing.
