I’m new to this and I don’t want to waste time on something that’s just paywalls and spam.
I’m also trying to avoid scams — especially anything that pressures you into paying immediately or sharing personal info.
- A way to filter out obvious bots fast
- Not flooded with fake “upgrade now” popups
- Clear reporting/block tools
- Basic verification or at least some moderation
- Decent local search without forcing GPS
- No credit card prompts just to message
Any specific apps/sites you’d trust for a beginner, and what’s your filter process?
