This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If countries' leaders weren't dumb as shit they would offer public dating apps that don't try to exploit people.
These apps work great when the goal is to match people who would get along, capitalism enshittified them.
It's obviously how most people want to meet, why not offer people a dating site that isn't shit to fix isolation?
I honestly think countries don't want to fix their birthrates at all, none of them do anything significant to help them.
The best way to make it better is supporting Alovoa and Duolicious by developing them further and using them as well. That will help in immense ways to improve dating scene. Also would be interesting if we ever get an AdultFriendFinder open source alternative eventually too
What are these sites you mention? I could search for it but then the info wouldn’t be here for others.
https://alternativeto.net/ is a website people use to list all kinds of alternatives to many different things. Alovoa and Duolicious have profiles on there linking to their websites/repositories/etc. Haven't checked what license they have but if they have right one they can be forked if needed
Edit: Just found about Fynd too. It's a non profit but is not open source
Edit 2: Duolicious is a non-profit as well
Hopefully, one of these can take off
Dating sites work best when everyone is on the same app, so the less popular ones usually have a disappointing number of members.
