Interesting concept of pseudonymity.
If your friend only has one or a few friends, there's a pretty good chance that they'll the identify of the poster.
In generally, I love the call to 'Enjoy openness and kindness'. We can definitely benefit from more of that :)
- marco1 12y agoThanks! I hope this open-source project can help so that we all benefit from such openness. And I'm convinced that such software should not be closed-source and in the need for a business model.
- marco1 12y agoBy the way, to address the problem of guessing your friends' identity: I know this is a critical point in the system and thus I added something to prevent that guessing, of course. However, it's a dirty fix, as it may introduce new issues (but of course that may be improved soon): When address books are synced with the friend lists in the app, those "friend" connections are always reciprocal. So even if you have only one single person in your address book, and you're seeing posts from friends in the app, you don't know if that's the person in your address book or any of your friends who has started using the app as well. Someone that you don't want to hear from may add your phone number to their contacts, but you may block any user inside of the app and this blocking is persistent.
