Lorn & Loved

Lorn & Loved, or L&L, is a matchmaking website accessible throughout numerous servers on every habitable Ealdremen planet. Although robust in its filtering to allow for "optimal compatibility" between automatically matched users, it is extremely notorious for banning any mentions of users' race in profiles. Ostensibly, this is to prevent harassment based on race, particularly between racial groups that tend to be contentious, and it's cheekily justified by the developers with "race shouldn't matter when you're lovelorn". However, instead, users have taken to using euphemisms -- sometimes hilariously vague -- to self-identify and ward off matches that might not be interested in their species at all. Newcomers to the site often struggle to learn the language needed to parse when a human refers to themselves as "especially hairy and dog-eared in appearance" and when that's a cancchia saying the same to indicate their race.
