Lmao. Some people are going to be pissed. This is how they exchange their nudes.

This is going to really upset a lot of people in the ... let's say "alternative sexual lifestyle" communities.

I started a Change.org petition to save Kik and its gay hookup features

Please sign it

Yeah first tumblr, now this. Hmmph. But there are plenty of other ways to still do so....er...so I’ve heard......from a friend........of a friend. Yeah, that’s it. Friend of a friend. 😎

AKA when your business model sucks, your members are bots, so you decide the best way to pocket money is steal from degenerate gamblers by using the pump n dump crapto coins.

Time for you guys to switch to Telegram for messaging and Doublelist for personals like everyone else I know (not just gay guys)

Dang. How did I not know about Doublelist till just now?? Thanks for the heads up! 😈

Switch to Telegram, folks. Not saying the same thing can't happen to it, but the people who run Telegram are extremely passionate about it and it's probably more likely to stick around than most things that aren't Facebook-owned.

TElegram is great, fast but no videocalling. Perhaps Signal is better alternative. Or any common chatting app not counting Messanger and WhatsApp.

So now Kik is staying? I heard that it was purchased by another company who will continue to support the app.

Yup! Not only staying but will be pushing out new features on the birthday day that it was supposed to shutdown.
