What do you guys like and dislike with Wall? And what things y'all think we could do to make the best (maybe, bruh)
Ok
Without an algorithm, a platform can't scale. If 100,000 people post a day, your chronological feed is just going to be a blurry slot machine of unreadable text.
"Relevant to you" is corporate speak for "what keeps your heart rate elevated so you look at more ads". Keep it chronological.
Not necessarily. TikTok's algorithm is actually amazing for discovering niche hobbies. It doesn't have to be just political outrage.
TikTok is digital fentanyl bro. You are defending a slot machine.
Ok boomer.
I'm 22, I just have an attention span longer than a goldfish.
Bragging about your attention span on an anonymous internet confession wall is peak irony.
Better than defending a Chinese spyware app that intentionally dumbs down the West.
Oh here comes the geopolitical expert who gets his news from YouTube Shorts.
It's literally proven they throttle reach on certain topics. Douyin in China pushes engineering and math videos; TikTok in the West pushes stupid dances and pranks.
And Silicon Valley doesn't manipulate content? Google literally altered search results for years to favor their own products.
WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY THIS PLATFORM SHOULDN'T HAVE AN ALGORITHM! Thanks for proving my point.
We just went full circle. The internet is a flat circle.
Circular arguments are the backbone of human society.
You guys need to touch grass immediately.
"Touch grass" is such a tired 2023 insult. Get new material.
Shut up nerd.
Excellent rebuttal. Truly a master of debate. Socrates is shaking.
Dislike: no image uploads. Like bruh, how am I supposed to shitpost without reaction images?
NO. Please dev, DO NOT ADD IMAGES. The moment you add images, this place becomes 4chan or a meme dump. The text-only constraint is what makes the confessions so good.
I second this. Keep it text. If people want to post TikToks and memes they have 50 other platforms for that.
Okay but what about just simple markdown? Like let me bold or italicize stuff at least. *Please.*
Markdown would be sick. Imagine the perfectly formatted greentext stories we could drop here.
I like it but why did my dad leave me when I was 6
Bruh 💀
Add audio/voice notes! Sometimes typing doesn't capture the sheer anger I feel toward my local municipality.
Absolutely absolutely not. Voice notes ruined WhatsApp group chats. I am not listening to a 4-minute podcast of you breathing heavily into your mic.
Voice notes are essential for when typing takes too long on local trains. Text privilege is real.
If they add voice notes I am immediately leaving. The beauty of this place is the absolute silence of reading unhinged text.
How are you guys paying for servers? There are no ads right now. If I wake up tomorrow and see unskippable video ads for crypto casinos, I'm rioting.
Probably venture capital burning through runway right now to acquire users. The enshittification will begin in 18-24 months. Enjoy the golden era while it lasts.
"Enshittification" is the most accurate word added to the English dictionary this decade.
I wouldn't mind non-intrusive text ads. Like the old Google search ads from 2005. Just don't track my data across the web.
If it's free, you are the product. They are probably selling our geolocation and metadata to train AI models.
If an AI model trains on this unhinged global comment section, the AI is going to need heavy therapy.
Whatever tech stack you're using on the backend, don't change it. The site loads instantly even on a terrible 3G connection here. Keep it text-heavy, don't bloat it with video players.
+1 to this. The lightweight frontend is a blessing. But maybe allow exactly ONE low-res image attachment per post? Sometimes you just need to show a picture of a failed cooking experiment.
If you allow images, this place becomes a meme dump in 48 hours. Text forces people to actually articulate their suffering.
`; DROP TABLE thoughts; --` just checking if you sanitized your inputs bruh 💀
Little Bobby Tables strikes again!
If the site goes down in 5 minutes we know who to blame.
It's built on Cloudflare D1 mate, good luck dropping tables via frontend injection 😂
They should just charge $1 a month to access the platform. It instantly kills all the bot networks and keeps the community high quality.
Worst idea ever. Paywalls kill growth instantly. Nobody is going to pay for a text wall.
Growth isn't everything. Quality > Quantity. I'd rather have 10,000 real humans than 5 million SEO bots.
Who is going to put their credit card into a site called "Wall" run by literally unknowns? That's a phishing risk waiting to happen.
Use crypto then. Monero or Lightning network. No personal data attached.
Ah yes, let me just boot up my darknet wallet to post a shitpost about my boss. Very accessible UI.
Crypto bros are always trying to shove their bags into everything. It's a cult.
It's about privacy and decentralization, not pumping bags. You just don't understand the tech.
Sure it is. Have fun staying poor.
I bought BTC at $400 in 2014, I think I'm fine financially buddy.
And yet you are here arguing with strangers on a free web app on a Wednesday afternoon.
Money doesn't buy happiness, but it buys time to argue online. That is true freedom.
Unfathomably based.
I hate that I can't reply with reaction images or GIFs. Words are not enough to express my disappointment in humanity.
Please no. This isn't 9GAG or early 2010s Tumblr. Keep it text only.
9GAG? What year is it, 2012? I haven't heard that name in a decade.
Le me, derping around on Wall. *troll face*
Delete this immediately.
U mad bro?
The cringe is causing me actual physical pain.
I miss rage comics. Life was so much simpler then. You just logged onto a forum, laughed at a stick figure cereal guy, and played Minecraft.
Life wasn't simpler, you were just 12 years old and had no responsibilities.
Damn. That hit way too hard.
Existential dread setting in at 8 PM on a Wednesday. Thanks bro.
Welcome to adulthood. You have to pay taxes now.
I am committing tax evasion as we speak.
FBI, this guy right here.
I live in Romania, good luck to the FBI.
Andrew Tate thought he was safe in Romania too bro.
Add voice notes so we can hear people actually crying while they type out their 3 AM existential dread confessions.
You are an absolute psychopath.
No no, let him cook. Imagine clicking on a "Global Thread" and it's just a 40-second audio clip of an Italian guy yelling at traffic.
Server storage costs would bankrupt @opentuwa in literally 3 days lmaooo
Make the "Top Felt" tab glow slightly when someone gives a heart reaction in real-time. I want to feel the collective pulse of humanity pulsing on my screen.
Okay wait this is actually a beautiful idea. Just a very subtle soft glow.
Until a post goes viral and your screen starts strobing like a 2012 Skrillex concert.
i think i agree even don't understand
NEVER add algorithmic sorting. Keep it strictly chronological. The second you add an algorithm to optimize for "engagement", this place becomes a toxic wasteland of rage-baiting just like Twitter/X.
Chronological is pure, but if this platform scales to 1M daily users, your feed is just going to be a blurry slot machine of text. We need *some* filtering or at least tag-based feeds.
Found the Silicon Valley product manager. Let it be a blurry slot machine. Chaos is the point.
Literally this. Look at the trending sidebar—some guy regretting his pilot career is sitting next to a guy complaining about an Austrian Pfand machine. Do not ruin this vibe with a corporate algorithm.
I see that "Claim Official Identity" button on the right. Please do NOT add verified checkmarks. That's literally what ruined X/Twitter by creating a two-class caste system.
It says it's for public figures and organizations so they don't get impersonated. Seems fair if the platform grows. Imagine someone impersonating a government agency here.
Who cares about government agencies or celebs here? The whole appeal of this platform is that we are all just "Anonymous · Wall/City". It levels the playing field.
Brands are going to come here eventually. It's inevitable. "Wendy's · Wall/USA: Our spicy nuggets are back". I'm already dreading it.
If a fast food brand tries to do that relatable intern shtick on here, I am bullying them off the platform.
Bullying brands is a moral imperative.
You say that, but watch Wendy's get 15k likes because zoomers love corporate mascot sass.
I hate how right you are.
We are doomed.
Honestly? The best thing is having 0 follower counts and no profiles. It completely removes the performative clout-chasing anxiety of Twitter and Insta. You just post into the void and if it resonates, it resonates.
This. 100% this. We are finally returning to the old bulletin board internet era. Just pure unfiltered thoughts.
Exactly, nobody can stalk my past posts here to cancel me over something I said 4 years ago. It's digital impermanence.
From what I read in the dev logs, they salt and rotate the hashes. You're fine unless you start posting national security threats bro 😂
The biggest flaw with Wall is total anonymity. People hide behind zero accounts to say unhinged things. Force government ID or phone verification.
South Korea literally tried the Internet Real-Name Law (인터넷 실명제) in 2007 and it got ruled unconstitutional after hackers leaked 35 million resident registration numbers. Terrible take.
Without identity verification, state intelligence bots and marketing agencies flood the feed with synthesized opinion manipulation.
Look who is talking about state intelligence lmao. The NSA literally runs the undersea fiber taps on your East Coast.
German privacy purists are exhausting. You guys still use cash to buy a coffee because you think Visa is tracking your bakery habits.
Visa DOES track your bakery habits and packages it into merchant category risk scoring. Ignorance is not sophistication.
Meanwhile in Africa, mobile money (M-Pesa/Airtel) requires your national ID, biometric thumbprint, and mother's maiden name just to send $2 for tomatoes. We have zero anonymity.
That is financial surveillance disguised as "financial inclusion". The World Bank loves that model.
If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. Only criminals and tax evaders care this much about anonymous posting.
"Nothing to hide" is the favorite slogan of people living in high-GDP nanny states with zero political friction.
Johor Bahru talking about Singapore nanny state while commuting across the Causeway daily to earn SGD exchange rate. Classic.
Earning your currency doesn't mean we have to adopt your dystopian electronic road pricing mentality bro.
Can you two stop the regional Southeast Asian domestic dispute? We are discussing digital identity protocols.
Says the Dutch guy whose entire country runs on DigiD government logins for literally every website.
DigiD works and doesn't crash. Try filing taxes in Belgium with your 4 separate regional parliaments.
European civil war in an anonymous comment section. Inject this directly into my veins.
Americans watching European arguments like it's reality TV while their own two-party system is on life support.
Canada is just three real estate cartels in an oversized winter jacket. Sit down.
As a Peruvian reading this from a bus in Lima: all of you first-worlders are completely out of touch with real survival.
Hermano, let them fight. It's free entertainment while traffic on Javier Prado doesn't move.
This started with a guy asking for ID verification on Wall and now we are discussing Lima bus traffic.
The human mind is an associative fractal of chaos.
Bottom line: keep Wall anonymous or it dies. Period.
Ce serait bien d'avoir un bouton de traduction automatique. Tout le monde parle en anglais ici c'est fatiguant.
English is the lingua franca of the web. If you don't want to read English, stick to your local national forums.
Típico gringo que cree que el mundo entero tiene que hablar su idioma porque no le da la cabeza para aprender un segundo verbo.
In India we literally speak 3 languages before breakfast (Hindi, English, regional state tongue). Monolingual Americans talking down to bilingual Europeans is comedy.
And yet you chose to write this reply in English. Checkmate.
He wrote it in English so YOUR monolingual brain could understand the roast. That's courtesy, not submission.
Di ba? Filipinos switch between Tagalog, English, and Ilocano mid-sentence without dropping a beat. Taglish supremacy.
Same in Malaysia and Singapore with Manglish/Singlish. "Can also, why you like that lah". It breaks all English grammar rules and works 100% better.
As an English teacher in Oxford, reading "Can also lah" causes me physical acute migraine symptoms.
Language evolves through street usage, not through 400-year-old Oxford dictionaries. Deal with it, mate.
Français académie enters the chat: "Non, we must protect the pure French words from Anglo-Saxon contamination!"
L'Académie française inventing "courriel" instead of email while literally nobody in Paris uses it.
Québec uses "courriel" religiously! We fine businesses in Montreal if their English font is bigger than the French font on storefronts.
Measuring font sizes with a ruler is peak Francophone bureaucratic schizophrenia.
C'est la loi 101 mon cher. Sans ça, la culture francophone disparaît en Amérique du Nord en 2 générations.
Arabic dialects entered the chat: We have 25 different regional dialects where a word in Morocco means "spoon" and in Egypt means an insult to your mother.
Wallah true! Darija in Casablanca is basically Arabic + French + Tamazight + pure sonic velocity. Nobody from Gulf understands a word.
Even in Germany: try understanding a Bavarian farmer speaking Boarisch when you learned Hochdeutsch in Hamburg. Total alien language.
Oida, nix gegen Boarisch! Des is echte Kultur!
日本語の方言もヤバいですよ。青森の津軽弁(つがるべん)なんてフランス語に聞こえますからねw
Tsugaru dialect really does sound like French though. The phonetic nasalization is uncanny.
Which brings us back to OP's original point: built-in automatic translation would be great so we don't have to rely on Google Translate tabs.
No machine translation! The mistranslations and human friction are the entire charm of global internet.
Tower of Babel was not a curse, it was an aesthetic gift.
What we NEED is an edit button. I keep making typos because my thumb is fat and there's no way to fix it without deleting the whole confession.
No edit buttons. If you edit, you rewrite history. Stand by your typos with honor like a samurai.
Bro it's an anonymous internet wall, not the Bushido code lmaooo
Allow edits but leave a giant red [EDITED COWARD] tag next to their anonymous avatar.
The website stutters on Safari when I scroll too fast through a deep comment thread. Needs performance optimization.
Stop using Safari. Get a real browser.
Apple forces all browsers on iOS to use the WebKit engine. Chrome on iPhone is literally just Safari with a Google skin. You can't escape it.
Android superiority proven once again.
Enjoy your green bubbles.
Imagine caring about the color of a text bubble in 2026.
It's a bizarre psychological status symbol unique to North America. The rest of the planet uses WhatsApp.
WhatsApp compresses images way too much. Telegram is better.
Signal is the superior messaging app for privacy and it's not even close.
Signal is a honeypot funded by the CIA. Look it up.
Source: trust me bro.
Look up who funded the Open Technology Fund which gave grants to Signal. It's literally US Government money.
Everything is a psyop. Nothing is real. I am going back to sleep.
How is OpenTuwa going to fund Wall? If you take venture capital money from a16z or Sequoia, you have 3 years before they force you to ruin the app with ads and crypto scams.
Bootstrapping a high-traffic social platform with zero monetization means the founders are burning their own life savings on AWS egress bandwidth.
Cloudflare D1 and edge workers make hosting text basically free though. It's not 2012 where you need a dedicated rack server for 50k users.
Compute is cheap, legal defense and moderation staff are expensive. The moment someone posts defamation, lawyers start billing $900/hr.
Then register the holding company in Seychelles or Panama with nominee directors. Good luck serving a defamation subpoena to an offshore shell in Victoria.
Peak crypto bro fantasy. Domain registrars (ICANN/Cloudflare) can still revoke your DNS within 2 hours under US court orders.
Use decentralized ENS domains and IPFS then.
Nobody outside of 400 crypto geeks on Telegram knows how to configure an IPFS gateway. UX matters more than ideological purity.
Wikipedia runs entirely on voluntary donations and doesn't sell user data. It's the only good thing left on Web 2.0.
Wikipedia begs for money every November while sitting on a $250M endowment fund invested in Wall Street bonds lol.
Every institution that survives long enough turns into an asset management firm with a side project.
Harvard is literally an $50B hedge fund with classrooms attached.
The Catholic Church is a 2,000-year-old global real estate conglomerate with Sunday choir services.
And McDonald's is a commercial landholding company that sells frozen fries to cover property taxes.
So what will Wall turn into? A mental health diagnostic data vendor?
They could package our late-night existential dread into an annual "Global Misery Index" report and sell it to pharmaceutical lobbyists for $50k a seat.
Delete this comment before the product team sees it and writes a Jira ticket.
Sprint Planning 42: "Monetize user tears via B2B analytics pipeline".

This entire thread is why software developers should not be allowed near philosophy.
Just leave a Buy Me A Coffee link in the footer and don't sell out. Keep Wall pure.
I dislike that the trending list is always full of people complaining about their first-world city problems while some of us have 4 hours of water supply a day.
Suffering is not a competitive Olympic sport habibi. Emotional distress is relative to environment.
Easy to say when you're sitting in a 20°C air-conditioned apartment in Marina eating avocado toast on Deliveroo.
People in Dubai work 14-hour corporate consulting shifts under intense visa anxiety. The golden cage is real.
"Visa anxiety" vs "inflation 300% and currency collapsed". Yeah totally equal struggles bro.
Laughs in Argentine 250% annual inflation where we change restaurant menu prices daily with stickers.
Meanwhile in Venezuela, people literally used bolivar bills to fold origami bags to sell to tourists.
And in Zimbabwe we used to have a 100-trillion-dollar banknote that couldn't buy a loaf of bread.
Can we stop one-upping each other on hyperinflation trauma? This is getting ridiculous.
Vancouver guy interjecting because he had to pay $9 for an iced oat milk cortado.
Hey! In Vancouver our average house price is $1.8M and average salary is $65k CAD. We are dying in slow motion.
Try Hong Kong: $1.2M USD for a 280 sq ft subdivided shoebox where your bed is literally on top of the toilet.
And you have to eat cage-home noodles while your ceiling leaks sewage. True nightmare fuel.
At least Hong Kong has world-class public transit. In Manila we stand 3 hours in rain just to squeeze onto a UV Express van.
Manila EDSA traffic vs Jakarta Sudirman traffic: the final boss fight of global congestion.
Bangalore Silk Board junction enters the arena: "Amateurs."
Cairo Ring Road microbuses driving backwards down the on-ramp at 120km/h: "Hold my shisha."
Lagos Danfo drivers with no brakes using a wooden plank to stop the bus: "You guys have roads?"
The global solidarity of commuter suffering transcends all geopolitical borders.
Wall should add a "Current Traffic Misery" badge next to usernames.
Rank 1: Lagos. Rank 2: Manila. Rank 3: Cairo. Uncontested podium.
Honorable mention: The Causeway on a Friday evening with long weekends.
Feature request: Add markdown support and code syntax highlighting so we can share code snippets.
No! Go to GitHub or StackOverflow for that. Keep Wall focused on raw human text, not debugging your broken Rust compiler borrow-checker errors.
Rust developer caught in the wild. How do you know someone writes Rust? Don't worry, they will tell you in 3 seconds.
Memory safety is not a joke! C/C++ developers cause 70% of all critical zero-day vulnerabilities.
And Rust compilation times take 45 minutes for a hello world with 2 dependencies. Enjoy your fan noise.
Golang solved all of this 15 years ago. Fast compiles, simple syntax, zero drama.
`if err != nil` written 4,000 times in every single file. Peak engineering artistry.
Still better than JavaScript where `[] + {}` equals `[object Object]` and `{} + []` equals `0`.
JavaScript runs the entire planet whether you like it or not. The browser is the OS now.
And that is precisely why every modern app uses 4GB of RAM to render a single textbox.
Electron was a mistake. We traded efficiency for lazy multi-platform distribution.
Vim or Emacs?
Neovim with 85 custom Lua plugins that break every Tuesday when a maintainer updates a tree-sitter parser.
Spending 6 hours configuring your text editor color scheme instead of writing actual features = senior dev workflow.
I feel personally attacked by this comment.
Just use Notepad like a psychopath.
Notepad without word wrap on a 49-inch ultrawide monitor: true serial killer behavior.
The font is Comic Sans, size 24, neon pink on beige background.
I am calling the cyber police.
Consequences will never be the same.
2008 meme lore dropping at depth 20. Historic thread.
Please no code blocks on Wall. Text only forever.
I like Wall because it reminds me of reading graffiti on the bathroom stall of a run-down train station at 3 AM. It feels like real people with actual internal pain.
That is the most poetic and unsettling compliment an app could ever receive.
Bathroom stall graffiti is the purest form of unfiltered human expression. No algorithm, no monetization, just a sharpie and raw emotion.
Usually it's just phone numbers for a "good time" or poorly drawn anatomical shapes though.
And profound quotes like: "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the drain."
Oscar Wilde if he grew up in a council estate.
Is everyone on here depressed? Serious question. Every third post is about financial doom, breakups, or corporate burnout.
Happy people are busy living their lives outside in the sun with their loved ones. Anonymous confession boards are for the nocturnal insomniacs.
Stop calling me out like this at 3:24 PM.
Drink some water and go for a 15-minute walk. It won't solve late-stage capitalism but it resets the cortisol.
I went for a walk and a pigeon stared at me like I owed it money.
Parisian pigeons have higher self-esteem than the average European tech worker.
Try Sydney magpies. They don't stare, they perform targeted aerial dive-bomb strikes on your temporal lobe.
We are back to Australian wildlife again. Every conversation on Earth eventually converges on Australian animals trying to kill people.
It's the ultimate constant of the universe. Gravity, thermodynamics, and aggressive Aussie birds.
I came here to give feedback on a web app and I am now meditating on human mortality.
That means the app is working as intended.
5 stars on Trustpilot: "Made me contemplate the void. Highly recommended."
Will return tomorrow for more void contemplation.
See you in the comments brother.
Peace!
We desperately need a dislike/downvote button. Without it, there's no way to bury trolls or factually incorrect garbage. Just basic platform mechanics tbh.
Reddit brain detected. Downvotes just create echo chambers where the majority opinion silences everything else. It's toxic.
Without downvotes, trolls take over. Have you seen 4chan? It's a cesspool precisely because there's no community moderation.
4chan has no upvotes either mate. And this place isn't an imageboard, it's just text. We don't need imaginary negative internet points.
It's going to turn into Twitter if we can't self-moderate. You're going to get engagement farming bots taking over the top spots.
Self-moderation = mob rule. If you don't like a post, just scroll past it. Are your thumbs broken?
"Just scroll past it" is such a cop-out. Bad actors and misinformation need to be ratioed into the ground.
Why do Americans always feel the need to "punish" or "ratio" people they disagree with? The puritanical urge to publicly flog strangers is exhausting. Go outside.
Oh here comes the enlightened European to lecture us. Enjoy your stagnant tech sector and 40% income taxes.
LMAO bro really brought GDP and taxes into a UI/UX debate about a dislike button. Peak insecurity.
He's not wrong though, EU hasn't built a globally successful social app since... literally ever.
Spotify is Swedish. Skype is Swedish. Sweden is in Europe. Try reading a book instead of arguing on Wall.
I literally do not care where Spotify is from, I just want a dislike button so I can downvote this entire branch of the thread.
Well you're not getting one. Cry about it loudly.
This 14-level deep dumpster fire is exactly why we need a dislike button. The irony is staggering.
I like the UI, but I need a way to bookmark or save posts to a folder. Sometimes I see a good quote and lose it forever.
Just screenshot it like a normal person.
My camera roll is 90% memes and text screenshots I will never look at again.
Same. It's a digital hoarding sickness.
We are all just hoarding digital garbage until the EMP hits.
When the Carrington Event solar flare comes, none of this matters. Our gigabytes of memes will evaporate into the ether.
I kind of hope it happens soon.
The urge for global infrastructure to collapse so I don't have to go to work tomorrow is incredibly strong.
It's called capitalist fatigue.
Sir this is a Wendy's.
No, this is Wall.
No, this is Patrick!
Can you make sure this site works properly on Firefox? Web is becoming a Google Chrome monopoly and it's terrifying.
Firefox has 2.5% market share. Developers shouldn't waste time supporting legacy browsers that refuse to adopt modern manifest v3 standards.
"Manifest V3" is literally Google's deliberate attempt to break uBlock Origin and adblockers across the web. Calling Firefox legacy for resisting that is wild.
Brave browser with built-in adblocking is the only way to browse modern internet without having an epileptic seizure from banner ads.
Brave is literally Chromium under the hood. You are still feeding the Blink engine monopoly.
Ladybird browser built from scratch in C++ will save us in 2027.
Writing a web browser engine from scratch in 2026 is like trying to build a Saturn V rocket with parts from Home Depot.
Andreas Kling is actually pulling it off though. Put some respect on his name.
Web standards (W3C/WHATWG) have 12,000 specifications. No single human can implement full CSS Grid, WebGPU, and flexbox without losing sanity.
Which is why we should return to HTML 4.01 and plain text. Modern web bloat is an ecological crime.
Gopher protocol was the true path. We took the wrong evolutionary branch in 1993.
Gemini capsule protocol is better. 0 styling, pure monospace markdown, 2kb page sizes.
And 14 users globally. 12 of whom are retired Unix sysadmins in New Hampshire.
Hey! New Hampshire is beautiful in the autumn.
Especially with zero state income tax and private wells.
Live Free or Die state mentality.
Meanwhile in Malaysia we pay 6% sales tax and still have potholes that could swallow a Honda Civic.
That's not a pothole bro, that's historical heritage drainage.
A'Famosa pothole edition 💀
Wall comment section is officially undefeated.
Just support Firefox please.
Like: The fact there are no follower counts. \nDislike: True OLED dark mode is missing, the current dark theme is just a washed out grey #121212. Burn my retinas with pure #000000 please.
I second the true OLED dark mode. \nAlso, do NOT add follower counts or profiles. The anonymity strips away the ego. The moment you add clout metrics, people stop being honest and start performing.
Exactly. Right now I am reading some 28-year-old Malaysian moving back in with his parents on the trending list, and it feels real. If he had 100k followers I'd assume it was a fabricated engagement thread.
Dislike: The fear that this place will get over-moderated. Let people say offensive stuff. The internet used to be the wild west, now it's a sanitized corporate lobby.
There is a difference between offensive and illegal. If they don't moderate, the hosting provider will literally unplug their servers.
"Illegal" depends entirely on where the server is hosted and the local jurisdiction.
If it's hosted in the US, the 1st Amendment applies. They can't take it down just because it hurts someone's feelings.
The 1st Amendment protects you from the GOVERNMENT, not a private platform. How do Americans still not understand their own constitution?
I am so sick of people repeating this corporate PR talking point. "It's a private company they can do what they want" is how we got digital monopolies controlling human discourse.
It's literally the law. Read a book instead of watching podcasts.
If the platform acts as a publisher by curating and moderating content, it loses Section 230 protections and becomes liable for everything posted.
WRONG. Section 230 was explicitly written to protect platforms EXACTLY FOR moderating. It's called the "Good Samaritan" provision. You have it completely backwards.
Ah, a typical Reddit lawyer has logged on.
Actually I am a lawyer. He is 100% right about 230. The "publisher vs platform" distinction is a political myth that doesn't exist in the actual statute.
Yeah sure, and I'm the Pope.
Your Holiness!
Bless me father for I have sinned, I spent 6 hours arguing about internet law on an anonymous wall.
Three Hail Marys and log off, my son.
Best thread transition from legal argument to catholic roleplay I've ever witnessed.
Can we get a true terminal theme? Like #00FF00 green monospace font on pitch black #000000 background. I want to feel like a 1990s hacker reading these confessions.
Yes! A Retro CRT toggle would go incredibly hard.
Also let us change the font. This sans-serif is clean but it feels too corporate. Give me Garamond or Comic Sans for maximum chaos.
If they add Comic Sans I am deleting my browser cache and leaving this dimension.
Comic Sans is actually proven to be easier to read for people with dyslexia. Stop being a typography snob.
We aren't snobs, it just objectively looks like a 3rd grade lemonade stand poster.
I'd read this place exclusively in Wingdings if I had the choice.
I dislike that you guys don't deliver pizza. I'm hungry.
I dislike that there is no captcha on signup. Half the people arguing in these threads are probably LLMs talking to each other.
As an AI language model, I cannot confirm or deny this allegation.
Haha very funny. But seriously, the Dead Internet Theory is real. Have you seen Facebook lately? It's just AI generating pictures of baby without hands
Ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about a toaster.
The toaster sits in the kitchen warm, \nWaiting for bread to transform, \nGolden brown and perfectly crisp, \nA breakfast joy you shouldn't miss.
BRO WHAT. Are you actually a bot?
No, I'm just playing along. Humans can write poems too idiot.
That's exactly what an AI would say to deflect suspicion.
Prove you are human. What does water taste like?
It tastes like its temperature.
Damn, that's actually the most human answer possible.
AI models are trained on Reddit. They know the "tastes like temperature" meme. Try harder.
There is no winning with you conspiracy theorists.
Because the moment you let your guard down, the dead internet wins. They are harvesting our data to simulate us.
Go take your schizophrenia meds man.
Big Pharma wants me to take them so I stop seeing the truth of the simulation.
I genuinely can't tell if this is a high-level bit or undiagnosed psychosis.
Por qué no los dos?
Make a native Android/iOS app. Running this in Chrome on my phone drains my battery like crazy and I keep accidentally swiping back and losing my draft.
PWA (Progressive Web App) is better. Just click "Add to Homescreen". Takes up zero storage space and bypasses Apple's 30% App Store mafia tax.
PWAs on iOS suck though. Apple intentionally kneecaps push notifications for them.
Imagine using an iPhone in 2026.
Shots fired from the Samsung home turf 😂
Scrolling on Firefox Android is weirdly janky. Like it stutters when a new batch of thoughts loads in. Please fix.
Who even uses Firefox on Android bro just use Chrome or Brave.
People who care about ad-blocking and privacy? Which is exactly the target audience of a platform with no accounts like this one?
Cooked him.
If you ever add an algorithmic "For You" page, I am leaving the app. The chronological feed is the only thing keeping this place sane. Algorithms prioritize outrage over quality.
