    Can someone please make an app for meeting people that doesn’t ban me or require me to enter all my personal data?

    I feel like its so hard to meet people these days, since all the apps have turned into data harvest and selling machines :(

      Haven’t done it using an app. Pick an activity. Find a club that does it. Meet in person

          Pick an activity. I’m into the outdoors, so looked at local Sierra Club chapters and cycling clubs. Joined a couple. Met a lot of people.

            ?? How do you find a club???

            Let’s say I want DnD, I look at Facebook, into the library and then searched for a website and found nothing

            What should I do now?

              I searched Facebook, found a group related to my activity, and all I found was bots posting ads trying to get me to buy things related to the activity.

                I didn’t find either group on social media. Real groups have some other way to reach them.

      I thought we were here, I thought this was the place?

      On a related note, I offer to any who wish it my time and attention via this anonymous discord server LINK. I would have used Matrix but it’s still missing a couple features.

        Is this a joke? I said sites that dont ban me or require unnecessary personal data. Discord is exactly one of those shitty services.

          I’ve given Discord exactly 0% of my personal identifying information, and I’ve reposted pornography there with 0 bans. Also, it still works as a website in desktop mode.

          I respect your choice and I’m sorry you haven’t found a place to belong, but the discord sentiment in particular sounds like maybe a skill issue.

            Sign up for an account on Tor Browser.

            They don’t ask for your info because they already have it. Try signing up where they don’t, and they’ll ban you unless you give them your identity

              Done, used a tempInBox email to verify a slightly more permanent ProtonMail free account and then created a Discord Account for you, all on Tor.

              Username: [email protected]
              Password: Ergherew54!

              Same credentials for discord and proton until somebody logs in and changes them.

              Also, I assure you my ISP coop doesn’t sell my info to Discord, lol.
