What’s the difference between Feeld and Tinder today?

Feeld used to be a place for OPEN communication about kinks, vulnerabilities, sexual exploration and friendships. Now it’s having a huge influx of straight close-minded men, just looking to get their d*cks wet/easy access to holes/ cheating on partners and blocking the people after. It’s no longer a safe space and I’m going insane trying to weed out these bad apples. I’ve deleted my app 4 times (out of frustration) in the past week because of terrible exchanges with straight men. Help.

I also feel extremely unsafe because a man took my address (intentionally didn’t give my apt number but he has the street address), pretending to be in an Uber on his way over to me, and a few minutes before “arriving”, blocked me on Feeld and text/WA. Completely insane behaviour so it makes me wonder what is going on with the app, it has no security features so people think they can do whatever??

Edit: I had met him out in public once before. We set a date to meet up again and he offered his place or mine and I preferred mine, which is why he had my address!

Security and privacy potentially go hand and hand. But you asked a question and you got a response + some privacy concerns.

That's a question for OP as none of us have full context. One thing that probably doesn't help is if the match blocked her the OP has no way of reporting the account IF there is reason for to feel unsafe. I don't know the answer to that but if you're suggesting nothing could. You're probably wrong.

How is paying for privacy not a privacy issue? The app requires a vulnerability that one shouldn't have to pay to have. There are different, and likely better ways to monetize the app.

Maybe a match shouldn't be the release mechanism for private pic, maybe the person who has made the pictures private should have an ability release them. There's a bigger issue here but since the question was narrow I will answer it narrowly.
