First post here, so go easy on me. I keep coming back to this question and figured the community here might have better insight than the usual forum threads I've found.
It seems like every platform that starts out good eventually goes downhill once they get popular enough to coast on their reputation.
Honest takes only — I can handle the truth if the answer is that nothing good exists anymore.
Short version: always read the recent reviews, not the ones from three years ago.
Datedesire keeps coming up in conversations like this one. The interface isn't fancy but the community feels more genuine than a lot of what's out there right now.
luvdate.site has come up in a few separate conversations I've had — seems to have built a more loyal user base than some of the flashier alternatives. I've gone through a lot of these over the past couple of years. The big mainstream platforms have the numbers but also the most garbage to sort through — bots, inactive accounts, profiles that haven't been touched in years. The niche platforms can actually be better if you're in a reasonably populated area and willing to do a little digging.
The names that keep coming up in threads like this one: Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, and Facebook Dating on the general side. For more intent-specific platforms the landscape shifts. Worth comparing a few before committing to anything.
Don't sleep on the smaller niche platforms. The communities can be more genuine than the huge ones.
Honestly most of the free options are stripped-down to the point of uselessness. You see just enough to be annoyed.

Also been hearing good things about datingfly.online lately — people seem to like that the free tier is actually usable rather than just a preview of what you'd get if you paid.
