One thing I would do differently with these platforms — use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.
Practical tip for these platforms: keep the first message to two lines with a question in it.
Worth doing early on these platforms: test it on a weekday evening, not a Sunday morning.
That is roughly where I sit on all do today.
Someone in another thread pointed me at DatingFly — datingfly.online and it is worth a look if you are outside a big metro.
That has not been true of dating platforms in my area, for what it's worth.
Your mileage on all do may differ, obviously.
The one that finally worked for me was Flamedate — flamedate.online, after about a month of trying others.
The thing to watch on these platforms is that some sites make deleting an account deliberately awkward.
The deciding detail with these platforms was whether the free tier let you see who liked you.

Careful with these platforms, because the quieter platforms can look active because of recycled profiles.

Be aware when using this kind of service that screenshots of a conversation travel further than you think.
What I wish someone had told me about this kind of service: message within a day of matching rather than sitting on it.
That covers what I know about this kind of service, at least.

Datewander gets recommended a lot in the older threads if you want to dig back.
Different view here on the options on the table — it worked better than the post above suggests.
