★★★★★ "I hesitate to ascribe perfection to an app, but this is pretty dang close in my book. A place for trans people to chat and vent and BE? Yep. Free and independent from corporatism and rainbow capitalism? Yes. Created and run by an engaged trans person who is also part of the community itself? You got it. Lovely UI with accessibility, simplicity, and a dash of uniqueness that would make a designer drool? Oh yes. So far my only “complaint” is that I want more (trans) people on it! The world is rough for trans folks and it’s nice to have a place just for us to exist without having to justify that. This is a good little app with a good little community. What are you waiting for? Trans your gender and get on this app/!"
Haven’t read through it in the entirety but found it on another site I trust. Figured it may be of use to others here.
But the vast, vast majority of the population, including most trans people…
I don’t know what circles you roll in, but from what I’ve seen the majority of trans folks are polyamorous or open. I do agree with your other points though, that combining social media and dating features is a terrible idea.
I’m also really questioning the fact it doesn’t appear to be open source at all, in an era where there are so many different fedi projects that could just be used with a custom frontend/app.
That repo doesn’t seem to list a license yet, so more like source available. They might have just not decided how they want to license it yet, so I’m at least mildly hopeful.

Edit: I was wrong, the app is indeed open source: https://gitea.com/t4t
