This thread focuses on LGBTQ+ friendly matching. I asked the same thing because it is hard to tell whether a platform is actually active or just full of empty promises.
A lot of these platforms look similar at first, but the details around messaging, moderation, and identity checks make a huge difference. If a site asks for a card before you can even test messaging, that is usually where I back out.
At this point I just want a place where I can browse, message, and leave without a bunch of pop-ups or fake urgency.
