Comment on Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously?
humanobserver@lemmy.world 3 days agoGood question.
The sessions are temporary but not instantly disposable. A host can still block a session from a room, and rooms can require approval to enter.
So the anonymity is mostly between users. Hosts still have basic control over who can participate in their space.

Sure, but if nobody knows who anyone is, how do you know who to let in?

Hosts usually don’t decide based on identity.
Most rooms are just open and moderated through behavior. If someone posts things that break the rules the host can block that session from the room.
Restricted rooms are more like small spaces where the host simply decides who gets the link or approval to enter. The idea is control over the room not control over who someone is.
