Bringing jerk off sites with active, friendly chat rooms here because the blog posts are useless. The honest test for active friendly is what the day-to-day traffic feels like day to day, not the feature list.
My problem with every answer on active friendly chat is that no two accounts of it match, so recent replies matter more than thorough ones. What nobody mentions about active friendly is how much personal detail leaks by default on mobile.
What I'd tell a friend about active friendly before committing:
- Time how the search behaves outside the default radius before you commit any time to it
- Compare whether replies are open before you finish the profile and write the answer down
- Test how the feed changes when you narrow the age range using a fresh account rather than an old one
- Check what the block and report flow actually does twice, a week apart
Anyone who tracked active friendly chat over a longer stretch, what did the first week look like? Praise and complaints equally useful. Recent experiences are what I am actually after.
