  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I literally just saw this on Twitter and was about to post a Q&A or something. Can't upload images rn, thanks Null.

When you make an account, you're presented with a series of optional questions their system supposedly uses for matching. I got a good laugh out of how hard some of them glow, examples include "is it ok to take the law into your own hands if the system fails you?", "would you report a serious crime by someone you loved dearly?", and "is Julian Assange a hero?". About 1 out of every 10 or so questions so far is something like this, standing out comedically between questions about what you expect in a relationship or what your interests are.
 
A 4chan dating site? Yeah, sure. Totally not a honeypot to steal and sell all your info and data lmfao.
well, the main argument against this is 4chan users' data is basically worthless. Look at all of the high quality sex toy and porn companies lining up to buy primo 4chan ad space. If you use any social media app your data is all out there anyways.

I swear I got an ad on /o/ yesterday that was for "porn.com".
 
I think it may be worth noting or bringing to attention that this site also has a blog which may be of interest to look at or to at least keep track of, as there was a recent post from 2 days ago.
As of today, there are just three posts, but one describes the theory and basis for the algorithms used (A), which particularly discusses the use of ChatGPT to generate training data (which seems to have been done as replacement for surveys for matching?), and two other posts (both relatively recent) describe apparent statistics regarding differences in views (A) or catalog political/personality traits across clubs (A) of the userbase.

Additionally, the site seems to also open source its software frontend and backend under AGPLv3. Looking at the issues and org, it seems to be just one account which is purely dedicated to this. Not sure if fed shit but it does look like someone's personal, ongoing project.
