Comment on Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously?

I think old school version of this is writing a letter then not sending it or burning it. Unsent letters are a historical gold mine.
More importantly, the presence of an audience make it likely people will embellish or lie to get responses.

That’s a fair point.
Once there’s an audience people start performing.
One reason I’m testing very short one-line confessions is to reduce that effect. Less room for storytelling, more just the raw thought.
