Comment on Tinder-alternatives for the Fediverse

  Just like match and okc you’d have to take a quiz and match against core values. Social media data mining would be a terrible way of matching.

    I actually think observing your actual behaviour would be a better more honest way of matching.
    And technically it’s all public info so it’s not technically a privacy issue; they’d get it over activitypub the same as all fediverse platforms already do.

    But it feels wrong to do.

      It would be, if it were comprehensive and applicable to match making, but I don’t think for most people that can be gleaned from fedi. Most people only lurk, few even directly follow communities, and the content people do interact with likely does not represent them well unless they put themselves out there like that.

        Well put.

        I guess I also don’t really know the average users behavior, or more specifically typical fedi behavior of users who would use a matchmaking service.

        I’m just highly skeptical of compatibility quizzes, it feels like there must be a better solution.
