Can confirm the the app part. Less sure about whether the community polices itself.
What decided it for me with the chat was how usable it is one-handed on a phone.
About 40 profiles into the room, the pattern around how the match quality holds up past the first day became obvious.
If your area is thin, the platform will not fix that, whatever whether the good profiles are already taken looks like.
After a few weeks on adult video chat app the only question left was whether the algorithm is doing anything useful.
The first message is where it either works or stops working, regardless of whether appeals go anywhere.
I had a better run on Rendate if you want a smaller pool, for whatever that is worth.
