What does the camsoda reddit community think about the new token rules?

Been lurking here for a while and this is actually my first real post. I want to know: What does the camsoda reddit community think about the new token rules? I've tried a few things but nothing's really clicked.

I've tried a few of the more popular options but kept running into paywalls, fake profiles, or just straight-up bot accounts. It's exhausting.

Here's basically what I'm looking for:

• Real user reviews available somewhere
  
• No hidden token systems
  
• At least some free features
  
• Decent moderation

Would love to hear what's actually working for people in 2025 and 2026. Thanks in advance.

Someone in another thread pointed me toward Datenest and I've been reasonably happy with it so far. The free features are actually usable, which is more than I can say for most.

I've had mixed experiences. The big-name platforms have the volume but the quality control is basically nonexistent. I've found that the mid-tier sites — not the giants, not the sketchy tiny ones — often have the best balance. Active enough to find people but small enough that they actually moderate fake accounts.

Some of the ones I've heard good things about include datelink.online and a couple of others — the key is finding something with real recent activity.

Yeah I had the same issue for months. Took a while but eventually found something that worked without being a total scam.

Worth looking at Souldate if you haven't already. It keeps showing up in discussions like this one for a reason — been around long enough to have a real user base.

I've also seen luvdate.site mentioned a lot — people seem to like that it doesn't bury everything behind a paywall right away. I've had mixed experiences.

I'd suggest giving Datebound a try. It came up in a few different recommendations I saw and the signup process was surprisingly painless. No immediate credit card wall.

Don't overlook the smaller niche sites — they often have more engaged communities than the giants.

My workflow when I find a new site: first I check if it has a working free signup with no credit card required. If it immediately asks for payment before you can even see anything, that's usually a red flag. Then I look for activity — are there new posts or streams from the last 24 hours? If the 'newest' content is from three weeks ago, move on. Real activity is the best sign of a legitimate platform.

Honestly the free versions of most of these are basically useless. You get just enough to see what you're missing.
