  • I admit to a moment of weakness recently and went back to reddit with a new account after being off since they dropped third party support. My post got mysteriously held up in some kind of mod purgatory but it wasn’t clear at all what was happening with it. Eventually it got booted presumably because I mentioned the existence of Lemmy on it. There can be some total nut job mods on here as well, but in general overall it’s a less draconian more enjoyable experience. I can still get in fights with total strangers which is one of the core pillars of a healthy internet.

    What? No it’s not. Trust me that’s not what Henry is talking about. That’s an algorithm that matches people in an environment where there is much less chance of rejection or ruined friendships. It’s not at all the same. Neither is flirting / suggestions and allowing the other person to ask you when and if they feel ready. Neither is using a matchmaker.

    There are so many ways to meet people without going up and just asking them to date you. That works well for a subset of very attractive people but can severely isolate a lot of people.
