I really loved OkCupid back before they sold out. They would share a lot of interesting data on their blog posts, and seemed genuinely interested in making successful matchups based on how your profile was presented to others. It was fun to be on there and didn’t feel like you were just being presented for “dateable” you were if you didn’t want to be.

I also met my wife on OkCupid, but that was just before the site really took a nosedive. Pretty annoyed they deleted my account without warning, so the first message she ever sent me is gone forever.

That’s the only reason I tried the shovel. I started using Scratch more and figured there had to be a way to reveal what he’s pointing at if you fail.

I refuse to touch anything related to Facebook. I’m shocked that people would use Threads or Instagram for that matter.

I was bitter about RiF but it didn’t really sink in that I was not returning until I realized it was all just in bad faith. No point in going back somewhere that doesn’t respect third-party apps or its own users. All the developments since then have made that very clear.

This sentiment in the current climate is stupid, but I do think the concept is inevitable. We didn’t always have phones on us 24/7, phones are already somewhat powered by AI. So what will everyone having their own AI look like in a way that doesn’t just sound like a chatGPT joke? What would make it a desirable future?

Hey, I posted one whole cat picture. I’m a contributor.
