How would some of these be fixed? I'm serious, what would people seriously expect an app to do? Send overbearing pop up messages to remind users that trans people can have any genitals? Warn users that they have not responded in X minutes to a user, and repeated violations will result in a suspension?

I'm all for stopping abusive behavior, but for all the think pieces, PR campaigns, and pledges to "do better," these apps are all about whether or not that person on the other end says "yes." And that is really, really hard to influence.
