And I'd hate to create yet another facebook account for this. So, yeah, as shitty as the dating scene is I'd prefer a 3rd party so that I can attempt at compartmentalize my accounts.
Is it no longer possible to reach people via text or phone?
Coincidentally, my social circle is approximately 0. It has never previously occured to me that this may not actually be a coincidence.
I have a clean, libre LineageOS setup on my phone, except for whatsapp.
My family has entirely moved over to Telegram, though I think they also still use WhatsApp. It doesn't bother me - change starts with yourself.
