GoP members. I recall something about higher traffic when they do conventions

What's the better alternative?

Sniffies. It’s a web app you don’t even need to install but you can pin it to your homescreen to behave like an app too.

Pool's still open

Well I wouldn't say it's better but it's definitely less enshittified. Give it time, the owners of Sniffies have given no indication they have the ability to earn anyone's trust.

Oh definitely, but grindr has been terrible for a long time and has absolutely no interest in improving. Sniffies has a few ads but they aren’t invasive, just obnoxious. Grindr has so many ads you literally cannot use the thing.
