OkCupid really went to pot after the acquisition. You can't even browse/search any more. It's all Tinder-style matching. Is that what people really want?

Online dating has gotten progressively worse over the past ~10 years. Even Craigslist personals is gone... Where can one meet a weirdo nowadays?

Met my partner in cl personals before it got shut down. Couldn't ask to be with a better person and we only saw each other's pics after writing back and forth for a bit.

Curious if text based dating sites exist any more or even text at first and photos only being shared after writing a while

KiwiFarms, or you could try 4chan, I recommend /b, but I am sure other spots will net you plenty of weirdos.
The actual answer was discord. Most of discords users are on those other websites anyway
Yes, but the discord pool is diluted.

Think about like 100,000,000 tons of 1% acid being discord.

And 10,000 tons of pure acid being the things I mentioned. It is going to be easier to get burned in the places I mentioned.

Discord has much more acid.... but when ya want the good stuff, you have to look to the specialists.
