Comment on With New Anonymous Social App Secret, the Merit Is in the Message

Comments

I think it would be extremely easy for me to identify my friends or for them to identify me based on writing style.

One of my closest friends is dyslexic, several others are in separate countries, and we've all got various tics and tells we might not even be aware of.

I've been beta testing the app for awhile now. At first there was a strong curiosity to know who posted what. It turned out to be harder than I thought (and even then, it was only ever a guess). Over time, I found myself not wondering anymore.
