Light mode, Dark mode, and Gen-Z mode?

Haha, I appreciate this reply. Sure, I'll be up front and admit that I didn't actually get use of matzoball dating and subtle curry dating/etc, but as an LGBTQ+ individual, I think I understand how the Sappho descriptor is trying to be used here (hey! It's a LGBTQ+ dating app!), and yet I still think it's a misapplied pattern match? And that's what led me to think that the keyword uses are also less-than-very-good references.

That is to say I personally wouldn't use a dating site themed around a reference for LGBTQ+ erasure. Though perhaps this doesn't represent everyone's opinion, and that's okay!

(For those out of the know here on Sappho/etc, see the subreddits /r/AchillesAndHisPal and r/SapphoAndHerFriend)

Knowing little about the community and how they use the terms, I would interpret these subreddits to be about raising awareness that this is just as natural a way of life as any other. There definitely is the reference to it's historical erasure and modern occurances, but the focus imo is on raising awareness. In which case, using it where others that see it , who are unaware of it's existance, is probably "free promotion".
