Thank you for your suggestions and suggested reads. Though I think the incentive to de-anonymise or get into stylometry is there only if the post has a larger impact on an organisation or individual. Most of the post on Vigyaa.io are personal in nature. I don't see why anyone will make the effort to figure out who has written it. The whole obfuscation is necesarry if one is blowing the whistle on someone or is posting something offensive. In either case the author will make their own effort to not let their writing style reveal themselves.

Would love to hear your prospective further.

The callbacks and unique ID etc we will work on to help protect user information.

The report function is automatic after a sizeable number reports and article. Rest we do manual moderation and are working on NLP to automate. Thank you

I get your point about spiralling down depression reading the posts there. We aim to segregate such posts using NLP so they don't crowd the center stage. But we can't and dont want to stop such posts as venting helps these people. And then there are many frequent users now that spend time helping other through reply posts.

ISP point noted and will see what we can do about that.

Noted thanx
Launched April this year. The numbers are from June onwards
Thank you for your comments. The moderation is currently manual and a manual moderation layer will always remain. plus we have a "report abuse" button for user supported moderation. 3rd we are also developing a NLP module that will be able to fish out anything offensive. Since we don't want to keep IP address logs we can target content directly. Any advise on that is welcome.

On monetisation: we will relay on ads and sponsored posts that are relevant to the audience.

Vigyaa means "knowledge"

We are fixing this bug. Thanks still
Thank you. Will have it fixed.
Thank you for your encouragement. I am an introvert too. And don't like to put my feelings on display. I feel that is just a stunt to seek attention. But here you can't seek any attention since know one knows who you are.
Vigyaa.io is a 100% anonymous platform where there are absolutely no trace of your identity. So users can be free of any fear of judgment or vulnerability.

I watched a movie called "Dear God" a long time ago. A crook is sentenced to serve the community by working in the post office sorting room. He finds a pile of mails addressed to God. He starts to read them. That Idea stuck with me since.

Here is the link to the IMDB page of the movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116059/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

So Vigyaa.io is a digital incarnation of that idea. User is 100% anonymous. Anonymity takes away all the vanity of presenting your best version to the world. It makes you comfortable in your own skin. It rips away any kind of incentive for you to fake it. And thus you get to see the TRUE version of the people who post. I believe that it is a very rare thing in today's social media lead world.

The stories you find on our platform are so honest that it has become a one of a kind place where anyone can share anything that they are not comfortable sharing with another sole until now.

We moderate the content for any kind of spamming/ solicitation posts or that can be hurtful to any segment of the larger community. If we miss anything that is still offensive users can report such posts and we have them removed.

Our only goal here is to unburden your hearts and have a place to connect with humanity at large.

Please try it out and share your feedback. Ask questions. I will try to answer to my best.
