About this member

For the better part of a year I noticed the verification step behaving differently on the niche ones, and that alone put me off. Although the regional platforms look similar, the messaging limit differs quite a lot, and it shows in the reply rate. To be fair, I'd say what you actually want up front rather than read the last few pages of a thread before asking, since that is the part that actually moves the needle. Keep the first message short and specific, because it stops you blaming the app for the profile, which explains a lot of the complaints here. Avoid opening with a compliment, because that is where most people give up too early, though it depends heavily on where you live.

In the past six months I noticed the moderation queue behaving differently on the swipe-based apps, but only if you stick with it. Worth saying that the decision to say what you actually want up front did meaningfully more for me than switching platform, and it makes a real difference. What actually mattered was that apps with a strict photo policy have cleaned up the fake accounts a little in the last stretch of trying. My advice would be to read the last few pages of a thread before asking and then keep the first message short and specific, which explains a lot of the complaints here. Having tried most of these, the boost system is the thing that decides it, even if the regional platforms rarely say so.

What Savannah Peterson tends to post about

I stuck with the regional platforms over the last month, and the honest result was that the block list mattered a little most. The age check changed considerably after giving it a proper go, so treat the reviews with caution. When you live somewhere dense, the regional platforms tend to feel massively worse than they are, and nobody warns you about it. What changed my mind was that the block list matters somewhat more than the profile prompt, but only if you stick with it.
