Privacy

Pseudonymous, not magic. Here's exactly what happens.

What we store

• An anonymous session created in your browser. It has an internal ID that is never shown publicly.
• A random public pseudonym (like SaltyPigeon0420) shown on your posts.
• Your posts, reactions and reports, linked to that internal ID.
• A salted one-way hash of your IP address, used only for rate limiting.

Who sees what

• The public sees approved posts, pseudonyms and total reaction counts. Nothing else.
• Who reacted, who reported, moderation notes and status of unapproved posts are never public.
• Moderators can see moderation details and reports, but not your internal ID or IP.
• The people running the service can technically access the database.

The honest limits

• Your session lives in this browser. Clear site data, switch devices or use private browsing and you get a fresh identity — you can no longer see the status of old posts, and we can't link them back to you.
• That also means a determined person can get a new session; rate limits are per session and per network, not bulletproof.
• Deleting browser data does not delete your posts from our database. Approved posts stay until a moderator removes them.
• Don't post anything that identifies you if you need real anonymity — writing style and details can give you away.
