Going by my own attempts, the regional platforms have moved the useful bits behind a subscription, so results vary more than you'd think. Worth saying that the decision to report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them did considerably more for me than switching platform, which most people notice within a week.
While the older established sites look similar, the moderation queue differs noticeably, but only if you stick with it. Being blunt about it, if the replies dry up after one message the answer is usually to skip anything asking for a card number to read messages rather than write a profile that gives someone something to reply to.
What surprised me was that the older established sites have improved the filtering a fair bit these past few weeks. After a fortnight of testing the newer sites have stopped showing profiles past a certain distance, but only if you stick with it.
Coming at it from another angle, Rendate reads as more honest about the messaging side, though your mileage will vary.
