Deciding whether or not to use Grindr. Figuring out which of the various data protection, China, et cetera concerns are (still) valid is doing my head in.

Hello u/Homusubi,

Your submission has been flagged for potentially violating Rule 3 of our community: No spambots.

  • Safety verification/registration websites are always a scam.
  • Random sugar daddy offers are always scams too.
  • Other common scams on Grindr include: general catfish, Gmail/Hangouts/Kik/Skype propositions, overseas military men, gift card solicitations, web orgy/gangbang/porn set invitations, crypto discussion, text msg verification code requests, etc.
  • Screenshots of exceptionally bad/dumb/clever spambots may be welcome, but please redact (blur out) all links to suspected scams.

Resources from Grindr's Help Center:

To reduce messages from spambots, disable "Show Me in Explore Searches" in the in-app settings (source).

For more tips, review the links in the subreddit menu and sidebar (including the 13 Grindr pro tips here), and search the subreddit.

A moderator will soon review your submission and decide whether or not to restore it.
