No one will truly know when a person is online because of the stealth function many of the users on the platform already have.
The idea is moot.

This sounds like stalker behavior.

I think y'all may be misunderstanding. It's not a notification that you have been favorited or a count of that. The app already tells us how many hours ago someone was on. This would just tell you in real time so you could chat together. It's frustrating when you keep missing someone by a couple hours, and ofc you could disable it the same way "viewed me" works currently.

No way! Stalk much?

Only as long as there is a setting, that you have to explicitly enable to notify your favorites if you are online

Me encanta esta idea.

Nope, pass. No need to fuel the narcissistic Instagram culture of showing off your "favorited" count. This isn't a popularity contest.

What in the narcissism, self-centered, egocentric, bs is this?

Are y'all unfamiliar with the block feature? Talking about stalkers and your best nightmares coming to life, jumping to conclusions and losing your wigs over this new idea when that's why theres a block.... Problem solved... Half y'all wish you could have a stalker irl lololol

I like this idea. Like how other site have a "hotlist" . Im shy when it comes to messaging first so it would be great to give or receive a "hint" that says "I'm interested" without being direct.

Being added as a favorite on grindr is NOT an accomplishment.

I def have to disagree with this one. Why does it matter how many people are favoriting you? What purpose does it serve other than fueling narcissism. It’s bad enough they added The Who viewed you feature that actually discourages people from viewing profiles.

I'd rather not know that I'm not anyone's favorite. Thanks.

As someone who had their life turned upside down from a very problematic person who used Grindr (in combination with any other location based app) as the main tool to persecute and abuse my rights, gather evidence, jump to conclusions and spread misinformation amongst many other tactics who's sole purpose was to be punitive, I can categorically say this is the worst idea in the world. If you have a favourite who you have chat based relationship with and you want to talk to them when you are not on the app at the same time as them, rather than getting a notification to tell you when they are available on this app specifically, you should reach out to them on a more appropriate channel, there is vast array of different methods of communication that you could use to contact them at anytime. Christ, writing them a letter would actually be more appropriate. If the only way you have to communicate to them is through here, then you have to ask yourself am I familiar with this person enough to warrant messaging them the second they jump online on an app where they are predominantly going to be looking for a hookup? More people would use this feature as a tool to monitor people secretively or procedurally rather than socially.

This isn't instagram.

No one needs that level of vanity out here. That’s all negative vibes.

I fully agree with this, After all it's our Business and we have the right to know who is checking us out?

that sounds like a great way for stalkers to keep tabs on people without them knowing

There are many people who quit Facebook twitter Instagram etc. because it makes them feel like garbage and feel the need of faking their success in life. There are also many people who feel insecure about their body/appearance, making them vulnerable to depression if they view their badge count as a means "success rate" or "universally agreed beauty rating". Also stimulates fakers to grind badges to later be perceived as "trusted" because of their high badge count.

When one of your favorite//starred person goes online, send a notification stating that. Can turn on and off for each profile, of course.
