I made a website to anonymously scream into the void.

Posted by IOUnix@reddit | RedditAlternatives | View on Reddit | 26 comments

It's literally just what the title says. No ads, no accounts, no tracking, not even unique usernames. I make literally nothing off of this. I just wanted a place to get things out worry free.

There's not a ton of posts yet but it still feels good to get it out.

Sorry, we've been having non-stop bot attacks from people trying to stop the site. It should work now.

Love the idea.

I hate how people ruin things like that with hate spam. Like have an original thought. Trans people bad, jews are evil, etc is not only hateful but just super boring. Say something real.

Thank you. I'm busting my ass trying to fight people spamming it to suppress freedom of expression but still keep it open and anonymous. I don't know why people have to ruin everything.

What stack did you use for this? I like it!

It's pretty simple. Just cloudflare and a small sql database.

Weird question, but I was curious, have you ever considered potential federation?

It would probably also help bring in more users.

I've heard of it and just started poking around. But I also wanted something with zero friction. Just show up and post.

Less of a void than I was expecting, but I contributed.

Thanks for testing it out. What do you mean by "less of a void"?

[-]

MrWeirdoFace@reddit

I half expected a completely black empty page😆

IOUnix@reddit (OP)

Hahaha that would have been a good joke.

I really like this. It's so simple and compact much like old text reddit. I love how you can also respond to vents and stuff on there so you don't have to feel like you're screaming 100% into a void.

If it remains bot/spam free, I'd love to check back from time to time and see what people have to say.

Thank you. That's really what I wanted. Just a place to freely express thoughts. E everything is so tracked and monitored now that nobody can really speak they're mind. I'll do my best to fight bots/spam. I'm trying to solve anonymous notifications as well so you can stay anonymous. Change your username anytime. But still be notified of comments.

Thank you to everyone trying it out! It means the world to me.

This is actually a cool idea. I abhor all the reddit-clones people keep making, but this is different.
