Honestly I stopped using Secret when I realized that I could probably be outed as the person telling the secret pretty easy. You only need like 7 friends on the app for it to tell you your friend posted something, so at that point finding who posted something is trivial.
- mcfunley 12y agoIt's a weird privacy model to try to reason about. Your anonymity depends on how many contacts your _contacts_ have. If you have a thousand contacts you may have no idea who's posting the secrets you see, and you might feel more anonymous as a result. But that's a mistake, because if any of your contacts has only a few, they can probably identify you.
- alwaysdoit 12y agoTheoretically, you'd still have some plausible deniability, since it could be one of those people pretending to be you.
- misingnoglic 12y agoMaybe, but if it's something that sounds like you, or is a situation related to you, or even if a friend knows that out of all their friends you use secret the most, all these things can harm your privacy. Imma stick with 4chan for this one.
