I’m looking for honest experiences here — what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what to avoid.
I’m also trying to avoid scams — especially anything that pressures you into paying immediately or sharing personal info.
- Basic verification or at least some moderation
- A way to filter out obvious bots fast
- Decent local search without forcing GPS
- Clear reporting/block tools
- No credit card prompts just to message
Any specific apps/sites you’d trust for a beginner, and what’s your filter process?
