Duolicious - 4chan's dating app.

shit like this makes me want to go in the woods and stare at a tree

The people joining a dating site and putting Kiwi Farms in their bio are the same people crying about their reaction scores. Change my mind.

How many people using the service are using pseudonyms/handles? Were a lot of dudes using their real faces? I would be interested in trying this out with semi-anonymous profile info (no face or unique photos not used elsewhere with the face censored, approximated location, etc.), but I'm not sure if it would be worth making one at all if that would penalize me in their algorithm or whatever.

I would say it's about 65% profiles with an actual photo of themselves or a photo they took, and the remainder are just edgy memes. I'm still tinkering with filters to see how the search prioritizes certain profiles, but as far as I can tell you are not hurt if your profile is only memes or nonsense. It seems to prioritize any shared clubs you have above all else, followed by your compatibility score.

I think there is probably a kernel of unrealized potential in the idea that spawned this mess of an app. A dating service that could properly facilitate people sharing themselves genuinely and organically with a sense of humor about it would blow the others out of the water.

We need Null to integrate a dating app directly into KF.

That is insane LMAO. Based on what @CoolFool said about her inbox on a new account, i'd expect a week in some cases, like holy shit chill. I'll admit it's been fun, kinda like fishing. You just gotta wait until one of your lines gets a tug. I am very much hoping for some insane convos to bring back here. The milk is endless.

I had gotten my intros cleaned up and pared down to 20 before I left this morning to run errands. When I came back, I now have this many:

Again, my profile is boring. I imagine women that put effort and pics are getting way more than this.

I can tell you exactly what happens when women get 100s of matches and messages from my previous experience with dating apps. At that point, shit becomes overwhelming so women will find an efficient way to quickly sort through the men they want vs the ones they don't. Any man with shit profile pics or very common/boring introductions get deleted. Guys that have good profiles but bad introductions get left at the bottom of the pile for when the guys she's currently talking to either go nowhere or are taking too long to reply.

I'm not joking when I tell guys they will greatly increase their chances if they take decent photos. Brush your hair, wear clean and well fitted clothes. Don't take up close selfies unless you really handsome. Don't take pictures in a dirty room. Your profile picture gets quickly glanced at by women who are trying to sort through hundreds of profiles, if it looks bad you are instantly removed.

Intros are a little harder. Just don't say the same shit that every guy is saying. Saying "Hi how are you" is boring.

I think there is probably a kernel of unrealized potential in the idea that spawned this mess of an app. A dating service that could properly facilitate people sharing themselves genuinely and organically with a sense of humor about it would blow the others out of the water. However, it seems very hard to get the balance right and there will always be privacy concerns when it comes to sharing yourself with your real identity. I do think duolicious is an interesting case because I think it's the first proper dating app I've seen that has veered far into oversharing across the board, even if said oversharing is often coated in a veil of irony.

I have to agree. And must admit that even though the people are mostly insane and people I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole, I'm having more fun on this app. This app seems a lot less cold and soulless than the other apps.

I haven't looked very far into this aspect yet, but I noticed the site said at the bottom that the license they are using is AGPLv3, which I found interesting and made me feel a bit better. Now, I'm guessing that the trick they are doing is that the app itself is AGPLv3 but the server infrastructure for the actual service is proprietary and/or it's not possible to host your own due to some other artificial limitation that they have created. I forget the details of AGPLv3 and if it protects against those kinds of things, but something definitely seems fishy about this whole thing.

If people are concerned about talking on this app (as you should be), then just take the convo offsite as soon as you figure out you like the person. Not just for this app, but all dating apps. Fuck giving these companies free data.

How many people using the service are using pseudonyms/handles? Were a lot of dudes using their real faces? I would be interested in trying this out with semi-anonymous profile info (no face or unique photos not used elsewhere with the face censored, approximated location, etc.), but I'm not sure if it would be worth making one at all if that would penalize me in their algorithm or whatever.

It's a mixed bag. The trend I noticed is a lot of the very young men have zero opsec and don't care if you know all about them and their batshit views. The older (25+) men show parts of their face just to show they're a real person but they don't show all of it. There are a few older guys that do show their whole faces on their profiles but that's a rarity. It seems like the older guys that show their whole face are not actual users from 4chan or kiwifarms etc., they are people who heard about the app from a podcaster or tiktoker and don't realize how much of a bad an idea it is.

edit: there are a lot of guys who won't share any photos at all on their profiles and will share them later once you get to know them.

This is just the problem with dating apps in general. For men, they have to cast as wide of a net as possible because not only are there fewer choices in general but obviously women themselves don't actually have to go out of their way to message men. This leads to women being able to have basic profiles that leave nothing to offer and still get to have their pick of men interested in them. The basic profiles might to some degree have an easier time since there isn't as much that might filter people. I'm more likely to get bored and message a girl who has practically nothing on her profile compared to a girl who says she's a fujoshi really into yaoi or admits to being unironically BPD for example. It's just a gay competition either way, being judged by something silly like a basic profile or having to put effort into some memorable opener to get a response from a girl that DOESN'T have to put in any effort is just so stupid and twisted and not how I believe dating should work

I will say, the more I read about this shit... The better I feel about myself.

Goddamn these niggas are desperate

Yeah, I really don't like dating apps. I swore off of them years ago after how cold and soulless they make dating feel. This app feels less bleak but in the end it's still not the same as getting to know someone in person. Dating in this day and age is tough.

I've noticed there really isnt any women over like 25 on there, What happens to femcels past 25? do they just get jobs and become normal?

 

[Uncle Ted's Cabin]

Okay, after re-familiarizing myself with AGPLv3 and looking at the source code for this a little, they are required by said license to make the server side code available and they have. See here: https://github.com/duolicious/duolicious-backend/tree/main

This means that anyone is free to set up and host their own instance of the duolicious service if the owner of duolicious.app becomes too much of a fag.

I don't think there are any femcels over the age of 25 yet, but they'll probably become cat lady spinsters or troon out.

I would say it's about 65% profiles with an actual photo of themselves or a photo they took, and the remainder are just edgy memes. I'm still tinkering with filters to see how the search prioritizes certain profiles, but as far as I can tell you are not hurt if your profile is only memes or nonsense.

Thank you and welcome. What you said was informative and thus a good first post.

I only saw 8 women over 27, which is roughly the cut-off for Gen Z (not sure). I think a lot of the older ladies are smart enough to be using filters for distance and unacceptable opinons. There was a really nice 40-year old cat lady who loved philosophy, gardening, hiking, and was unvaxxed and hated fats. Wonder what she was doing there, or if she's an /out/ or /lit/ poster or what. As for femcels, I think the real outcast girls grow up completely out of the limelight like was said here:

Fellas, if you really want a femcel GF you're not gonna find it on any kind of dating site. The crazy bitches are all on Twitter and fanfiction sites and they're perfectly fine with rotting away in their stinky bedrooms gooning to their favorite yaoi. They're not on dating sites or advertising themselves as single anywhere. You need to find a way to become their new obsession. I can't tell you how to achieve that but it's your only option. These girls desperately want a boyfriend but they're doing fuck all about it so you have to essentially become a ghost hunter. Good luck

Edit: I actually do know a way to attract femcels, learn how to draw gore and horrific sexual violence. They love that shit

And the rest of them seem to be varying degrees of "cannibalism uwu" and other Hot Topic, gacha-playing league of assfaggots flavor of the month airheads who are 23 but act 13. It also feels extremely performative. Very few come across as their actual self and it feels like a food fight where everyone is just flinging their memes around without any soul or substance. And without any actual edge, since duodev is a fag who hates his own users, all that's left is milquetoast aspergers when I bought tickets to an autism show of the flailing kind. Don't know what else I expected of a /soc/ honeypot...

She could just be an ancientfag. There are women who ended up on early 4chan who were just computer nerds like the male posters and didn't turn attentionwhore but stayed anon. They're just like the age 35 and over men on the app, often relatively normal because they were adults before social media, YouTube and influencers and had jobs and a life in the real world and such. I hope I run into that woman because she seems like a cool friend to have.

I have one of those women as a friend and I can confirm they're pretty cool.

This app/site is definitely more fun than what i've been told about other apps. Yes it takes a while for people to respond, but at least people just admit they're crazy on here. I will say, i'm in the middle of a convo right now, talking about nerd shit... and its just so awkward. It's not like the farms where anyone can jump in. Its just you and her, and whatever you can think of to talk about. And it all depends on how much effort either one of you puts in. You can be putting in 110% when she is putting in 5% or vice versa. And it just makes the conversation grind.

You can find them in school too, in real life!!!! (IN REAL LIFEEEE!!!) literally look for girls that have cool ass pins on their backpack or maybe short hair or just look a bit "unique" how would i say it . . . And then get le epic chronically online femcel tradwaifu or soemthing like that....

Joined as a female Leaf (because it's what I am) over the age of 30 as a borderline normie compared to 4chan but regular KF visitor (so far too weird for regular internet). There are maybe 30 or so men that the app declares as a decent match, I think maybe 5-6 are normal attractive men with profile photos. The rest are memes, Asians and Indians. No one has responded to any of my intros so I tried using a real photo but ngl I've been asked if I'm a bot on the other apps so I'm not sure if that'll even help anything.

I do like that it has an old school feel to it. However I saw a profile photo of a guy photoshopped holding a giant black dick uncensored so it's only a matter of time before egirls jump in half (or fully) naked to advertise to lonely incels.
