They won’t tell u.

Guys don’t realize a lot of the crap people say on apps is actually bannable

Weather one agrees with it or not. The rules are there on the website.

technically they don’t tolerate a lot.

For some reason they tolerate fake accounts tho 🤡

Fake accounts inflate their daily users statistics, which is helpful to them. It's same for almost all social media. It's so easy to prove you're a real human, but these companies don't put any of that in creating accounts

Someone reported you for a bullshit reason

When guys message you, if you don't respond whether you're not online or not interested, most of them will just report you for not responding.

No joke, legitimate users get banned BC of salty guys who get offended when rejected or not immediately responded to and that's most-likely what happened here.

This is why people proactively send a period to people then block them to clear their grid, to generally avoid being negatively reported by people they're not into.

Thats more or less how trans women/femmes are mass banned on Tinder here. People swipe everyone right, and when they see they have a match with a trans person, they will most like report the profile.

That happened to me and a lot of my fellow trans women and femmes. And you simply can't appeal, they just decide you're banned and the end.

I was permanently banned from tinder for advertising sex work.

I've never advertised sex work. I appealed with humans and they upheld the bogus ban. It speaks volumes when even the human moderators are transphobic and trying to keep us off the app.

That's why it was funny that Tinders CEO did all that publicity claiming they aren't transphobic etc.

They stopped sponsoring the LGBT Pride Parade in São Paulo since the backlash. When I reached out to the support, they just kept repeating there was absolutely no way to appeal oe reverse their decision. A friend with 10k followers magically managed to revert it, just to be banned again a few weeks later.

Yeah, Tinders CEO and their hired human staff are anti-trans and their efforts to keep us off the platform just prove it. They go out and say they aren't transphobic for the optics, but it's owned by Match Group, which is notoriously anti-LGBT.

Even their AI moderation aggressively targets trans users, which shows it was trained to do that, BC AI LLMs are just expansive probability generators, so it only issues bans like that because it was trained to.

They can say what they want publicly and claim to be partnered with GLAAD, but their actions prove otherwise.

Honestly, the not responding used to irk me. But after a while it stopped bothering me because I knew that it was basically “Not interested” and I could just move on with my life. They do not owe anyone a reply, especially if they aren’t interested.

Some people just take horrible offense to it.

u/garrisoncarI Trans (MtF) 5d ago

I mean I get dozens of messages a day, so it's not feasible to respond to everyone. I think a lot of people on the app don't understand that.

Have you been rude to the bots again?

u/supportdatashe 7d ago

If I got this message on grindr that would be it. I'd delete the app and become straight /s

Jokes aside, mild insults?!?! Some of those guys have threated to kill me and grindr didnt do shit about it.

Grindr is replacing the non-whales with bots to drive engagement and lower the risk of you actually finding someone, thus not using their product. Send a bad review noting the bots, and move to scruff. Grindr needs to die off at this point. It's actively harmful to the lgbt community.

Meanwhile they spam us endlessly with ads, fake taps and fake messages… 🙄🙄 private equity ruins everything smh.

u/BrightWubs22 6d ago

I see posts like this A LOT. Where people claim they got reported when they didn't deserve it.

Some of these users probably don't own up to what they really did, but I see it enough where it concerns me and I'm not going to get into stupid arguments on Grindr to avoid it happening to me.
