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
How do I find the club?
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?
Check your local game store if you have one, you can ask around there.
You can also create an lfg post on reddit in the tabletop RPG subreddit for your area, or find the Lemmy equivalent
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: SmoothedSquare@proton.me
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.
Its via your fingerprint.
Last time I tried to signup was a few years ago. They demanded a phone number.
You didn't get asked a phone number? Have you made a post yet?
If you use the website version it doesn't have fingerprint capability in the first place. On mobile website switch to desktop mode, log in, and then switch back to mobile version once you're in and it works fine.
Sent a test message and everything
You did all this in Tor Browser?
Yes
Well, thanks, I'll try again. Last time I tried, it locked my account before I even made a post, and wouldn't let me proceed without entering a phone number.
Still, there's a risk they'll reestablish this policy. Their history matters.
