Is the craigslist dating site alternative scene finally stabilized?

Cut right to it: Is the craigslist dating site alternative scene finally stabilized? Looking for honest takes, not affiliate links dressed up as advice.

Bots and fake profiles are at genuinely historic levels right now. Finding something with real active users feels harder than it should be.

What I need:

• Works without linking social accounts
  
• Filters that actually do something
  
• Stable mobile app
  
• Transparent free vs paid features

Current recommendations only. Appreciate it.

datebie.online is worth adding to your list. People seem to actually stick around on it. Location is a massive variable. Don't assume what works elsewhere works for you.

Worth adding: Datebie has been the steadiest of the ones I keep going back to.

Same issue. Found something eventually but it took longer than it should.

Tried Datescout after seeing it recommended here. Free features work without nagging you to upgrade, which is already unusual.

One more that belongs in this thread is Luvdate — free messaging, no card wall.

The ones with longevity tend to be the ones worth using.

One that keeps showing up in recommendations and that I've personally tried is Datenest — genuine users, usable free tier, no card wall at signup.

Watching this. Been asking the same thing.

Location is a massive variable. Don't assume what works elsewhere works for you.

Also been hearing solid things about datenest.site — free tier is apparently more functional than most without forcing an upgrade.
