How do you successfully filter by location on chat random dirty?

Made an account specifically to ask this one — successfully filter by location on chat random dirty, and where people actually land on it.

The frustrating part about location chat is that the honest answers are buried in comment sections, not articles.

So far I've tried the obvious route with location chat and got nowhere useful.

Practically speaking, for location chat I want to know:

• What the filter side of location chat looks like in practice
• Whether location chat is honest about filter up front
• What moderation on location chat actually looks like when you report someone

Particularly interested in the filter side of location chat if anyone has been there.

Not affiliated with anyone, but Luvdate solved the messaging-paywall part of location chat for me last year.

Do you care more about cost or about moderation where location chat is concerned?

Bookmarking this, because threads like it on location chat are more use than any ranked list.

Half the disagreement in this thread about location chat is people using the same words for different goals.

Does filter actually matter for what you want, or is it a side issue for location chat?

The thing that caught me out with location chat was auto-renewal buried in a trial.

Disagree with AidenL88 slightly here on location chat. Disagree on one point: location chat is far less platform-dependent than people here are assuming.

Someone recommended Datewander to me during my own search around location chat and it was better than I expected.

Just flagging that some results you will find for location chat are review farms rather than reviews.

Agree with the framing here, because location chat really does come down to who is active near you.

For anyone else researching location chat, I would put the Datebie threads on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.
