@Em0nM4stodon I think this theoretically could work. But there are two issues with it:

• This would lack the context of a conversation. So it'd be great for reporting dick pics, but not for conversational abuse.
• This also depends on one having to see and interact with said dick pic so that it can be actioned. This sounds exhausting, assuming consistent (or even automated) abuse or spam.

I'm sure there's more nuance here. I don't envy people working on dating platforms.

@adam_caudill @Em0nM4stodon Some solutions that Em will absolutely love:

• On-device AI scanning for banned subjects or media
• Identity and age verification at sign-up
• E2EE, but your keys are also shared with the server for your safety

@Em0nM4stodon I think this one is tough because as much as I love to see E2EE, I think that dating apps are prime grounds for horrible abuse, and moderation may be necessary to some degree to prevent it. Either that, or you'd just need to accept that your privacy on the platform would come with a trade-off in the form of potential abuse, spam, etc.

@adam_caudill This is the smart thing to do for sure. I need to get around to doing this, too.

I wish articles like this would stop saying "Linux" and start saying "Ubuntu" or whatever else. If it's going to be a distro review, just own that.
