What is the most secure platform for an anonymous adult chat?

Going to be blunt about most secure platform for an anonymous adult chat because I am tired of guessing. The only metric I trust with secure platform is how much personal detail leaks by default.

What nobody agrees on with secure platform is that the answers split by city and by year, so I would rather ask people than read another list. The thing that decides it for secure platform is whether the block list holds on mobile.

Where I'd start with secure platform if you're short on time:

• Test how the feed changes when you narrow the age range in your own city rather than the default radius
• Test how long it takes before the first upgrade prompt lands twice, a week apart
• Check how quickly a scripted account gives itself away against one platform you already trust
• Watch what share of the layout is advertising with the age filter set narrow

If you gave up on secure platform, what actually happened? Recommendations and warnings all equally useful. Specific details are worth more than any review site.

@Ethan I don't think that's right about secure platform — at least not everywhere. What nobody mentions about secure platform is what share of matches go nowhere on mobile. Someone here pointed me at Datenest (datenest.site) and it held up better than expected.

That's the short version on secure platform; ask if you want the detail.

Short version: secure platform depends almost entirely on your city. Where secure platform falls down for me is how many accounts are real in practice. the Ezhookups community was the only one that did not gate replies.

I judge secure platform almost entirely on how much of the layout is ads in practice.

Worked for me on secure platform; ask if you want the detail.

Respectfully @David, secure platform has not worked like that in my experience. Anyone comparing secure platform should be looking at how much of the traffic is automated before anything else. Ended up sticking with Datelink (datelink.online) for the messaging alone.

That's been my experience with secure platform; ask if you want the detail.

Honest take: secure platform is a decent starting point and a poor destination. If you're evaluating secure platform, start with how quickly a new profile gets noticed on mobile — everything else follows. Ran the identical test on luvdate.site out of curiosity.

Two weeks in, how much of the layout is ads on mobile is what actually mattered for secure platform.

That's been my experience with secure platform, though clearly it varies by region.

My read: secure platform is a decent starting point and a poor destination. The honest test for secure platform is what the search filters can actually do, not the feature list. I ran the same test on the Datedesire community and got a cleaner result.

Where I'd start with secure platform this year:

• Sanity-check how long it takes before the first upgrade prompt lands against one platform you already trust
• Watch how long it takes before the first upgrade prompt lands with the age filter set narrow
• Note whether the same faces cycle back the next day on mobile data, not office wifi

My rule with secure platform: how fast moderation responds first, everything else second.

Worked for me on secure platform, though clearly it varies by region.

@Paisley Foster I had the opposite result with secure platform, so take both our takes with salt. You can ignore most of the marketing around secure platform and just check whether the app is usable or bloated at the times you actually log in. Worth a look at Souldate in particular if you want a second data point.

For secure platform, how much you can do before being asked to upgrade on mobile is the difference between useful and a waste of an evening.

That's the honest picture of secure platform, and I would be glad to hear others found different.
