What's the better alternative? 👀
Sniffies. It’s a web app you don’t even need to install but you can pin it to your homescreen to behave like an app too.
Oh, thanks. I'll check it out!
Well I wouldn't say it's better but it's definitely less enshittified. Give it time, the owners of Sniffies have given no indication they have the ability to earn anyone's trust.

GoP members. I recall something about higher traffic when they do conventions
Pool's still open
This timid cowardice emboldens these creatures to commit genocide knowing that the West is too scared to confront them for fear of being labelled anti Semitic
You guys are all conspiracy theorists.
What actually happened: someone who knew someone at Grindr said "man, anti-zionism is really gaining ground on Grindr, huh?" The Grindr employee said "Huh?" "Oh yeah, its like on every other profile." "Huh...."
Then a few employees chat about it, until someone mentions it to their ad exec, who says "HWAT???" The ad exec knows that the Israeli government is committing war crimes - but they also know that as soon as the right wing media picks up on this, Grindr will become the "the secret deviant app for jew-hating gay nazis", and they DO NOT want to spend their weekend handling that shit storm.
Hence the rule.
You can still say "Pro Palestine" in your bio.
If that were the case, the exec needs to be fired, because this is an obvious shit storm waiting to blow in from the opposite direction

Ok, but it doesn't say anything about "nay to ye zionists".
exactly ... just make up another code word or phrase to mean the same thing
Grindr is from the Jews too?!?
It allows "Zionist" though so could you do "~~Zionist~~" or "~~Zionists~~" 🤔
Zionists-b-gone.
