About this member

Despite the fact that people disagree here, the step that matters most is to keep your expectations low for the first fortnight: it stops you blaming the app for the profile. Since the last round of app updates I noticed the read receipt setting behaving differently on apps with a video option, and it makes a real difference. The moderation queue changed a great deal these past few weeks, though it depends heavily on where you live. Worth saying that the decision to report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them did somewhat more for me than switching platform, and nobody warns you about it. Worth saying that the decision to report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them did noticeably more for me than switching platform, but only if you stick with it.

My advice would be to skip anything asking for a card number to read messages and then report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them, and nobody warns you about it. Move to a proper conversation quickly, because it saves a lot of wasted evenings, which changes the whole experience. The discovery feed and the messaging limit pull in opposite directions, though it depends heavily on where you live. I stuck with the regional platforms since the last round of app updates, and the honest result was that the reporting system mattered slightly most. What actually mattered was that the search filter setup matters somewhat more than the boost system, which most people notice within a week.

What RachelK tends to post about

Although the bigger platforms look similar, the moderation queue differs marginally, which most people notice within a week. My advice would be to widen the distance radius early on and then keep your expectations low for the first fortnight, so results vary more than you'd think. The awkward truth is that the discovery feed matters considerably more than the moderation queue, which changes the whole experience. Granted people disagree here, the step that matters most is to say what you actually want up front: that is the part that actually moves the needle.
