Thanks so much for this opportunity to serve! I'll try my best!

I love data privacy, FOSS, and Lemmy!

I also love ostriches. They are so cute!

What do I hate? Meta, the company. And Google. And Steve Huffman. Alexis Ohanian potentially. And Amazon. And cockroaches. And surveillance capitalism!

Let's make this lovely instance rock!

I read an article a while back about how one DM on Twitter led to a happy marriage. The correspondents had no prior relationship. Just a curious DM. I'm not endorsing the use of Twitter here, especially for dating.

Dating isn't always about marriage, though, and dating platforms are also about... casual sex. Yup. One-night stands. A lot of magic can happen via online dating once the connection is there. I don't see it as inherently bad or evil.

A lot of very personal information is exchanged on these type of sites, so it's very, very important it's a private AND secure platform.

I'm sure they'll get more models (for the frontpage) soon. In the meantime, they have a little more than twenty thousand registered users, and it's a very young platform.

Yeah, it is.

A little more awareness, and there'll be people around you on Alovoa. Give it some time. Tinder is just so horrible privacy-wise.

Most likely. London is a huge metropolis.

Hey, thanks! Freedomware all the way! You're also an inspiration to me. ❤️

Dear roaches, I'm sorry for comparing Crapple and Micro$oft to y'all. You lot are better creatures than those filthy corporations.

But really, why do cockroaches have to be so gross? They look gross, smell gross, and very likely taste super gross. Eww!

If it's a new account, give it some time. Someone will find you soon. ❤️

You should try Candle.

For another (lightweight) widget, try Ministocks.

You could be the one to date her. 😊

Give it time, dear. Tinder and OKCupid didn't start out with millions of people. If we all give up on Alovoa because "nobody uses it", we'll never have a private alternative to the horrors out there.

Like Mastodon is to Twitter, or Lemmy to Reddit, this is our chance to create something big for years to come, together.

UntrackMe has a list of Nitter instances. The app hasn't been updated in a while, though.

That Twitter link... is that a Nitter instance?

I don't even know what to write.

I wish I could unsee that image.

Eating a goddamn cockroach. The stuff of nightmares.

I remember reading somewhere that there was a contest in which the person that ate the most **living roaches in the least time won. It. Really. Did. Happen. What the almighty fack.

Noooooooooooooooo don't go to sleep, I'm still awake!

Read this.

Amazing. Thank you!

That's the more reason to stick with Alovoa. The network effect will make it better. Tinder started out this way, too.
