It would be great to get some of the Bumble founders involved in developing a federated replacement for the rapidly enshittifying Tinder, Bumble, etc. I can imagine them bringing some great insights to both a UX and Trust & Safety aspects. I wonder how I'd go about making contact with them?
OTOH any woman reading this could too if they've had horrific experiences with online dating designed by men, or been frustrated with the enshittification of existing dating apps.
