This is the property that is most exciting about the fediverse. It is made up [mostly] of folks trying to create a social good without trying to get anything in return.

@liaizon This is an interesting idea, since the profit goal is so wildly opposed to the goal of anyone trying to find a life partner.

The devil will be in the details. Literally devil, as the potential for abuse is so high. The details will be mostly blocking, moderation, safety, identity proofs, and strong privacy. Really hard problems.

I don't know of the activitypub has the right tools for the job. Maybe Veilid or Spritely Goblins might.

A Fediverse dating app is the opposite of what the Fediverse claims to do.

For example, lack of searchability is (incorrectly) seen as good on services like Mastodon.

Dating/meetup functionality is the opposite: people seeking friends/romance/etc. explicitly _need_ to search and be findable according to various search criteria.

Also, everyone wants _something_ in return for sacrificing time/financial/other resources for their effort -- whether they seek money, power, prestige, etc.
