Drug monitoring
The app is full of drug addicts, sellers and people that put at risk others with their substances.
I see so many people here in Mexico selling cristal or slam and a lot of users of it, using emojis to hide their substance usage.
I believes both a feature that monitors this emojis they use to talk about said substances is much needed, even it making a report to the police.
For other substances such as Alcohol, tabaco, marihuana and poppers there should be a block for people that do not want to match with others that do.

Stop being lame. No one makes you do drugs. Leave people alone. Maybe they should have a filter for police plant wannabes like you.

It is not Grindr's responsibility to monitor every profile or interaction of users, and may violate 1st Amendment rights. HOWEVER, it is Grindr's responsibility to report to police activity reported to them. Users can report illegal activity... and quite frankly, Grindr's instructions on how to Report Profiles... especially those who block you... SUCKS. The instructions for reporting profiles who block you aren't even accurate.

Mate.
You said a bunch of words, to defend the individuals whose practices patently hurt themselves and hurt others.
You accuse me of being "holier-than-thou," yet you're over there advocating for one of the worst elements of society—towards the end of allowing them to indulge in one of the top 20 worst acts a human being can perpetrate—more fervently than I advocate for those same folks' reformation.
You a right-winger?
Is your addiction really that strong, Mustapha?
(Considering how so far-gone you're sounding.)
=====
By the way: What exactly did you "speak the truth" on?
I've never had a substance addiction.
For that matter, I've never once touched a "substance."My former partner, though?
Previously addicted to coke, and meth; and occasionally dabbled in Ketamine (for sex play).
He was willing to allow himself to succumb to his addictions / "preferences"; and he would have, if it weren't for the intervention of someone who could reach him in a way I wasn't able to.My mother?
She had the misfortune of continually getting into relationships with "men" who snuck behind her back and messed with heroin and crack.
These "men," with whom she eventually got into arguments, constantly.
These "men," who stole from her, and even stole from ME — to fuel their habits.Ah.
But, you'd wish to gaslight me again, by telling me I made all that up?
Me and Akalah both are simply lying through our teeth about our life's experiences?
All because we have a hard-on for "shaming" the mirthful meth•heads?
Correct?Hey.
Listen.
You and I will never see eye-to-eye.So, do me a favour.
Load yourself up with some good crystal, and go party away for the next nine days.
Since, as you infer, "it's all gravy, baby."
And perhaps, during your binge, you'll link up with someone who'll take care of your problem.
(Or, as you would prefer framing it, your "business.")Who knows?
Maybe I'll get lucky?
You come across a batch of meth that's seasoned with fentanyl.It's not a big deal — right Mond?

@NoneOfYourBeeswax - Are you for fucking real?! No cop is going to look at your home and think "oh this must be his supply house! let's seal the deal and arrest these mooks!" No. Just no. That is just simply NOT how law enforcement takes down a drug dealer. They spend weeks to months investigating people--determining that they are in fact distributing, by gathering evidence of such through controlled purchases. They use bills that they have recorded the serial numbers of, so that they further corroborate the evidence when they arrest the dealer, and he has those bills on his person. It's too dangerous for a single cop to go into a situation like that alone, or even just him and a partner. Such an act would require first a search warrant for the home, and then an arrest warrant for the addict you brought over. So get real, cut the crap, and stop making excuses to pry into people's private lives. Moreover, if your home is well-maintained and appears on the up-and-up, no cop is going to see an addict entering an apartment or house and think that he's at "the spot". Said addict could just be visiting his mom, or his brother, or someone who has nothing to do with drugs whatsoever. This may be hard for you to comprehend, but addicts are very much a part of society, just as you and I are. Many of them are quite functional and you would never know they are under the influence.
You're well within your right to not want someone doped up on a substance in your home, but that doesn't justify actively monitoring our conversations or reporting them to law enforcement. Personally, I don't and won't hook up with drunk people. It has more to do with how I can smell their bodies metabolizing the alcohol than anything. Nonetheless, if one shows up to my door inebriated, they aren't coming in. So, why is it okay for drunks to stumble all over town and to my doorstep (because you know they aren't going to tell you first either), but an errant tweaker is cause for a constitutional convention in your eyes?
I suspect that both you and @Akalah have substance use issues in your past and are vehemently intolerable of others' usage because--GOD FORBID--someone else be allowed to get high when you cannot. Misery loves company and you rather see everyone be miserable, since you are too.
This is also part of the reason I did not acknowledge what @Akalah said regarding his/her alleged experience. I don't think it really happened, because both of you seem incredibly capable of fabricating anecdotal evidence in order to have your perspective be the prevailing one. The narrative just fits too well. It's just too convenient that @Akalah claims that s/he contracted HIV vis-a-vis being drugged and subsequently raped. What was he doing in an environment around people who had drugs, and didn't know them well enough to know they were capable of such a thing, or that they even had HIV? It sounds to me that, if his claim is true, then s/he was probably there getting high with them already, and consenting to using as well as engaging in sexual activities. If not, then you need to vet your people better than that before meeting. But none of that really matters because someone who survived such a traumatizing event isn't back on the apps still looking for dick. I know survivors of rape, both men and women, and they all struggle with intercourse now, even in the context of a relationship. None of them go on hook-up apps, seeking out more sexual encounters.
So yes, I flat-out ignored the ridiculousness of what you both wrote there, and was ignoring your hypocrisy @Beeswax. It's clear that your new addiction is arguing online with people about the perils of drug use. Get over it, bro. If you focused on you and living YOUR life, then you'd probably be having a much more fantastic time on this giant spinning rock that we call Earth.

alright, mustapha
let me get this out of the way:
i'm not a nihilist
i'm not an anarchist
i'm not interested in making the world burn down
and, i fully (and unabashedly) believe in the mantra, "no man is an island unto himself" — as the corollary to khaled hosseini's admonishment, "nothing happens in a vacuum in life: every action has a series of consequences, and sometimes it takes a long time to fully understand the consequences of our actions"
no amount of sticking one's head in the sand shall alter that aspect of our reality's, mate
=====
i took immediate notice, you didn't even make an attempt to acknowledge this one statement akalah said, not even two days ago:
"I got drugged, sexual assaulted and now living with HIV so I would say it has affected me very fucking much."
from where i stand..
..akalah's well within his rights to be anti-drugs / anti-drug abuse
(drugs, including roofies)similarly, you made no acknowledgment of my statement, pertaining to people who—unbeknownst to me—came to my place doped up
(doped up on meth / coke, specifically, in case that wasn't clear)now, suppose a cop with a true hard-on for justice happened to be tailing one of those dudes..
..and he gets it in his head, that the residence which his target is visiting, happens to be a supply house?and the cop decides, this is a fine time to seal the deal?
it's still "none of my business," that i have police at my apartment, looking to arrest *me* for something i had nothing to do with, mustapha?

Mustapha Mond commented
@Akalah I'm not an imbecile because I say to mind your own fucking business. It's rather myopic of you to be concerned with what others do in their own homes. Not too long ago, there were anti-sodomy laws in this country. People were outed, jailed, and sometimes killed for their private business that they conduct in their own homes and bedrooms. Concerning yourself with someone else's substance use is no different. What would you say if another social app were monitoring conversations to detect who has had or is thinking of getting an abortion? Would that be okay? The concept of privacy is so fundamental that the founders included it in three separate amendments. So yeah, I think your self-righteous, holier than thou perspective is sophmoric at best and your anger comes off as comically funny more than anything. Oh, and I made no assumptions about the wealth, or lack thereof, of anyone who lives with substance abuse/use issues. Not only did I not make any assumptions, I didn't state anything about their socioeconomic situation. Seems like someone else is being rather audaciously presumptive here, and not me. 🤔
@None-of-your-beeswax But you are shaming them, whether you like it or not, you are. So, as you said, cut the crap on that one. Also, just because someone asks you if you party doesn't open some proverbial door and give you latitude to make their hobbies and habits your business. It's not different than if someone asked you, "do you drive?" You can choose to answer it or not, and return the question. Sometimes, people might ask you that because they take issue with partying also and are trying to avoid such an encounter. So, you don't really know what the motivation is in asking; you're just jumping to conclusions.

@MikeRevis
First of all I am a gay man.Second it’s EVERYONE buisness when OUR community gets endangered with substance abuse, you know how many mf use Grindr underage being exposed too drugs?
You are also assuming drug adicta are poor which is a weird thing to say, there are independent of their social class.
It should be more strict and monitored.
I live close to anexo, I see addicts everyday when I get out of my home, and I feel sympathy for them. Acting like if the user could lie and go all slammed to a hook up, if they altered your beverage (I got sexually assaulted that way) or make you consume something while on the act (a very vulnerable moment for both parties)A shame you are such a fucking estupida ignorante.

bruv?
tell me what it is i'm doing, that would merit my being booted / banned from the platform?
also, i'm only really "shaming" the individuals who believe their abuse is something worth being proud about
those who want to brag about their drug-fueled escapades as if there are no consequences to their shit
myself, i'm not "shaming" anyone who's dealing with legitimate mental health issues
not 'shaming' anyone who already feels remorse, and who wishes to kick their habit, before their habit kicks them
so..
..you can cut the crap on that onealso, speaking of "minding one's business" — i think people's habits become "my business" when they approach me, asking if i party
or, when they come to my residence, unbeknownst to me, already tweaked out
their not giving ME the choice or chance to decline meeting them

Mustapha Mond commented
Whatever happened to minding one’s own business? If someone else chooses to do drugs, that of course is their business and not mine. Them using and making others aware that they do, is not an invitation to use if you don’t already. It could be, sure. But don’t assume it’s all about you either. All you are accomplishing is shaming these individuals, who usually already carry a great deal of shame around for various reasons. Just keep it moving if you’re not interested in how someone else lives. They ain’t here for you either, and no one is calling the cops on you, or getting you banned from the platform, like many of you do to them. All this extra shaming, only drives them further into their addiction by the way. Good job on being part of the solution. 🙄
