TikTok is the only app I’ve encountered that gets this right. I’ve made connections with people from my town and places just outside where I live. I’d love to see more apps do what TikTok does.
How does Tiktok do it? Edit: I meant how does Tiktok help person above meet people locally?

>> “free speech” Does not belong in quotes.
Musk has a selective view of what free speech means. His view of free speech is different to the majority of people reading that article, seems reasonable to put quotes around it.
Can't be overstated how good having a setting centered on some common activity with low stakes social interaction is for building relationships, romantic as well as platonic. Hookup culture just isn't for everyone, and the notion that it is has been the cause of a lot of grief and agony.
Anybody here from Germany who would share practical experiences with such apps?
I'm quite apprehensive of the idea that this is now how you meet people. Of course it doesn't necessarily have to be but myself being in my early forties, single, few friends, full time computer job have to say that it is a challenge.
I’m still trying to figure out how to sound casual and just interested in chatting and not having the first message sound too weird.
But I’ve made a couple friends and had a bunch of good chats.
I wish reddit, X, and even HN would be more encouraging of direct messaging people. That would mimic real world networking better where you’re usually breaking off into one on one or small groups.

The popular saying on the chats was "Give a man a chat server and he chats for a day. Give him a Go server and he chats for life."

> People who go to bars specifically just to "pick up" are creepy. What does that mean?
That a lot of people go to bars to hang out with their friends, or especially hang out with their friends + meet some new friends of friends. And it's kind of weird to just go to a bar, alone, and try and find other lonely people to fuck for a single night. But hey, that's what some people are looking for.
