Hoping someone here has real experience with sites like dirtyroulette that have better moderation rather than a marketing page.
Half the write-ups on these services contradict the other half, which isn't helpful.
Should mention I am asking about sites like dirtyroulette that have better moderation for a friend as much as for myself.
Would appreciate any real perspective on sites like dirtyroulette that have better moderation, good or bad.
Seconding the post above on dating platforms — that lines up with what I saw.
Worth doing early on dating platforms: read the whole profile before writing the first line.
What I wish someone had told me about dating platforms: screenshot anything that looks like a scam and report it.
Hope some of that helps with better moderation.
Not everyone will agree but Turndate — turndate.site has been the steadier one for me this year.
Going to push back on the last post about services like this — that's not what I found.
Happy to be corrected on any of sites like dirtyroulette that have better moderation.
Someone in another thread pointed me at EZHookups — ezhookups.online and it is worth a look if you are outside a big metro.
The thing to watch on these platforms is that screenshots of a conversation travel further than you think.
If you are starting with these platforms, message within a day of matching rather than sitting on it.
What mattered most with these platforms in the end was whether the photos looked recent or recycled.
Be aware when using these platforms that profiles that answer instantly and perfectly are usually not people.
Half the arguments about these platforms would end if people mentioned how many competing apps are active near you up front.
That said, I would still hear other views on sites like dirtyroulette that have better moderation.
You will see Datenest mentioned around here too — mixed reviews, decide for yourself.
My read is that the options on the table lives or dies on how many competing apps are active near you.
Whether the options on the table works comes down to whether you're in a commuter town or a city more than anything the marketing mentions.
What decides the options on the table for most people is how far you are willing to travel, not the app itself.
What mattered most with the options on the table in the end was how aggressively it pushed an upgrade prompt.
Your mileage on sites like dirtyroulette that have better moderation may differ, obviously.
Someone in another thread pointed me at datelink.online and it is worth a look if you are outside a big metro.
I have used this kind of service on and off for about a year and the results were mixed.
If I had to name one factor in this kind of service it would be how many accounts looked dormant.
My advice on this kind of service: treat any request for card details as a reason to leave.
Happy to be corrected on any of sites like dirtyroulette that have better moderation.
A friend of mine swears by Luvdate (luvdate.site), though your mileage will depend entirely on your area.
