POF : I am done. Shitpost
I’ve gotten shadowbanned without reason for the last time. Having done nothing wrong. Following all rules. Assuming good intention and giving it one last shot with the site.
I was a superuser. A legacy user from back before the sale to Match.com and everything became a Tinder-clone. I hate Markus for choosing money over his users…I’d happily have paid if I thought a small business establishment were getting it, and not Match’s barrel asses in NYC/SF/LA.
I despise the redesign…what was broken before is now more broken with more broken parts, and with more bots than an Asimov trilogy. The two factor authentication was weak, but fine… But when one could no longer use VPN, and the numbers for the two factor started to repeat, I knew someone was asleep at the switch.
I have reached out to people that work there in UX…pleasing with them to work with their users and help design a user-centered experience and have been met with silence.
So fuck’em. Vote with your wallet. Do yourselves a favor and make that site as popular as Alta Vista.

Dang, I mourned every time the chat boards were hidden, re-hidden, hidden again, and then deleted.
The good old days are gone. And with them, the positive attitude of actually wanting to meet people and get along. I’m sure you remember the old days when people actually wrote and talked to each other, and didn’t try to play off every faux pas as « just a joke » or « sarcasm ». People had more faith in their personality and ability to relate to each other.
Sure there were scammer, bums, trolls, etc., but not the burgeoning hordes of pranksters there are today, who mostly match to get followers on some other social/pay app or to make humiliation jokes and memes.
Every so often I still see a pic with the old fish on it – OMG!
The most recent update and redesign of the app sucks!!
Not to mention the “meet me” feature shows me people nowhere near me. Fucking annoying
