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:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.

Let's get people on them!! I checked some out and well they seem a bit low-effort no picture accounts infested but there seem to be some genuine people on there with the verified badge
