🍋8 IS NOT A DATING APP

After much thought about making this post, I’m finally doing it.

When I first came on this app all I saw was beautiful women everywhere supporting each other from every background. It was freaking beautiful. I thought I finally found my app so I can be surrounded by women and have a cute community. But as always. Men. The second I started posting my followers were going up ((yay)) but I wasn’t here for the followers I was here to meet like minded women. It reached the point of 90% of my followers are men. Much appreciated and all, but a lot of yall have “single” in your bio. Don’t get me started on the DMs. Some are just simple hello’s or hi’s. No biggie. The full on hitting on me ones are where I draw the line. Like first of all, nobody even asked how old I was. Thank goodness I’m not a minor, but I have now seen a post where a minor is being bothered by men. 🍋8 is supposed to be a place for like minded people connect. Stop ruining good apps by targeting women and trying to hit on them.

So if you try to come to my account to leave creepy comments or think you have a chance; I am happily married; I post for the girls, gays and theys. 🌈

... Read moreLemon8 is not just an app; it's a vibrant community where women can connect, share experiences, and support one another without the noise of dating. Users initially drawn in by the welcoming environment often experience an influx of male followers. This shift can alter the app's intended purpose, making it essential to reclaim its essence as a space solely for women and allies. To create a thriving community, it's crucial to establish clear boundaries. Users must feel empowered to post freely, express themselves, and share their passions without unsolicited attention. By using hashtags like #notadatingapp and #onlygirls, members can curate discussions that reinforce Lemon8's focus on authentic connections among like-minded individuals. Furthermore, it’s vital to promote a culture where all users are respected and feel safe. As the app gains popularity, a commitment to maintaining this positive environment becomes paramount. When users engage with content from peers rather than focusing on dating aspects, they contribute to Lemon8's fulfilling atmosphere of camaraderie. Let's prioritize meaningful interactions that elevate the platform's community spirit; join us in celebrating our unique connections on Lemon8!

It’s the same for guys . I get 15 scams a week asking for money. I’m sure it’s worse for woman.
