Broadly speaking, happy to admit I don't know everything about this topic, which is exactly why I'm asking, though that has shifted recently. What is the most active dirty gay chat room for bears and chubs?
I've gotten wildly different answers depending on where I ask, for whatever that is worth. In my experience, Reddit tends to be either 'everything's a scam' or 'just use [major platform]' without much nuance, depending on which app you are on. Forum communities like this one tend to have more actual experience, so figured it was worth posting, though others in this thread disagree.
Honestly, things I've specifically struggled to find clear answers on:
- If I'm honest, how to verify that a platform has genuine local users vs scraped profiles
- If I'm honest, whether there are features that are actually free vs free-to-browse only
- Speaking generally, how to protect your privacy without completely hiding your identity
- In my experience, what the realistic timeline looks like for getting any traction
From what I've seen, any and all input appreciated, which is not a universal experience. In practice, will follow up with my own experience in a few weeks.
