Grindr won’t allow users to add “no Zionists” to their profiles, but allows any number of other phrases that state political, religious, and ethnic preferences, according to 404 Media’s tests of the platform and user reports.
Several users received an error message that says “The following are not allowed: no zionist, no zionists,” when they tried to add the phrases to their bios on Thursday. I tested this myself on a new Grindr account, and received the same error message. I was able to add “Zionist” to my profile (without “no”), however, and could also add any phrase I could think of: “no Arabs,” “no Blacks,” “no Palestinians,” “no Muslims,” “no Christians,” “no Jews,” “no trans,” “no Republicans,” “no Democrats,” and so on. “No Zionist[s]” was the only phrase that was blocked in my testing.

I did, decades ago. Lol
I think they’re hinting at you to tell them what these other solutions are
Nice try FBI agent! You’ve already enshitified all the legacy apps like Grindr and shut down rentboy et al (but left their straight counterparts alone). We’ve gone peer to peer to evade you and I’m not going to help you capture them; you’re just going to have to talk to those icky gays yourself. Lol
If you’re gonna gatekeep, consider not saying anything at all.
the only gatekeeping happening here comes as a result of either your failure to ally or your own inability to connect with this vulnerable community and; with the same sentiment as your recommendation; consider reaching outside your hetero-normative circle.
I’m starting to suspect you don’t actually have a clue what you’re talking about and just want attention
Ok but what are the apps
hexbear looks down on them; you’ll find your answer there.
the other’s lack of awareness of this VERY OPEN secret gives me pause to share it here, where it’s clear entire communities and instances are aware of them; authorities like the fbi, cia, mossad treat them like goldmines and they also exist because a huge majority don’t actively participate like they don’t on apps like grindr.
You’re not protecting anyone from mossad by being evasive and riddlesome about what dating apps you use
Gosh darn it, y’all got me there…
