Also like Jodel it is anonymous[1], which is a good thing whenever possible as has become obvious lately.
[1]: wrt other users. Random nutjobs of all shapes cannot easily find you and nobody can verify if Jodel have really banned someone so they can to a larger degree do what they think is correct instead of what the mob demands. Threaten someone however and police will have your adress shortly, - Jodel is not an alternative to Signal or Matrix.
- baxtr 6y agoSomehow similar to HN isn’t it?
- waheoo 6y agoWas gonna say that's what I use HN for, I got disenfranchised with the industry and everyone in it a few years ago, now I just troll and call it how it is. If I don't get downvotes I something is wrong.
- throwanem 6y agoPedant's note: ITYM 'disenchanted'. To be disenfranchised is to be rendered unable to vote, or more broadly to be stripped of some otherwise customary access to a measure of power or agency. To be disenchanted is to lose a fascination with something, in typical usage as a response to some event or sequence of events that places the object of disenchantment in a new and less favorable light.
- skinkestek 6y agoKind of, but anonymous instead of pseudonymous and also (kind of) ephemeral.
