Not “inclusive”, only same gender matching regardless of sexuality, ideological bias

Impossible to make friends, and the people on here are toxic and self-righteous and bigoted anyway so why bother even trying.

I thought the new version would let you meet people of any gender. I am FTM and gay so don’t have much in common with most other men, but I am only allowed to see male profiles. If it is to prevent romantic relationships, it is going off the assumption that everyone is straight. Men are my romantic interests and women are my platonic interests, yet all I am allowed to see are men. It has fake inclusivity virtue signaling yet it is exclusionary by design. If people don’t want friends of the opposite gender they should have the option to block them from seeing their profile, but it shouldn’t make everyone only able to see their own gender. And I tried selecting the nonbinary option and was only able to see other nonbinary people in the area who all seem to follow the exact same hostile groupthink.

Also there were only 20 profiles for me to look at and I’m in a big city. I guess not many people actually use this app? Or maybe men don’t? At least it doesn’t make you pay to look at peoples profiles, not that it helps my situation. I’ve had better luck making platonic friends on dating apps since I can actually interact with women.

Also this app allows discrimination and bigotry if it’s against the “bad” identities according to the narrow ideology it follows. It only bans discrimination towards “marginalized” groups, not realizing many people in “privileged” identities are factually marginalized for that same identity in their local environment or experience marginalization from institutions and systems that follow exclusionary and psychologically harmful IDpol ideology. I’m a leftist but all bigotry is wrong and it is ridiculous when platforms allow certain forms of bigotry just because their flawed political framework says it’s okay.

Horrible

Glitches and the ppl on this app misuse it. Glad I deleted my account.

No longer able to make a profile

I have been off and on bff for a few years. The past 3 or 4 times I have downloaded it (since early this year), it gives an error message whenever you go to make a profile after putting in a code. Ive tried a handful of times at different times since beginning of 2026 and even reached out to support with no answer. Crazy.
