Tinder is a proprietary privacy nightmare that requires one’s Facebook data for functionality. It even has its very own analytics library just to enhance the Orwellian tracking.

You don’t want any of that.

If you’re searching for a partner or a lover, Alovoa is the better corner of the internet to find one. It’s private, secure, and vitally open-source.

You can find the service’s source code here.

Alovoa has an Android and iOS app. Here is the native Android app. Its source code can be found here.

The native Android app was released fairly recently in late October last year, and appeared on F-Droid some days ago. If you encounter any bugs, report them in the Issues section of its GitHub repository.

I’m not the developer.

    Yes, of course. I didn’t want to make the direct comparison to the fediverse. But the funding to have something like that take off is definitively necessary.

    I’m personally situated in Germany, so I’m not that far away from Romania. I also have my own personal Pleroma instance for similar reasons: I wanted to participate in some “sane” social media and it’s actually pretty good. First, I had a private Mastodon instance and then moved to Pleroma, because Mastodon had too many moving parts.

    Generally speaking, to me, the Fediverse means “less activity, but higher quality conversations”.

      “less activity, but higher quality conversations”

      Yea, I love this part as well. Guess that was one of the reasons I was so fond of G+ back in the day 😁

      Oh, you’re not far. Hi there! 😊

      I get your point now. Yea, I guess I’ll try my best myself as well until I find someone that will stop me from doing this anylonger, haha 😁
