Anonymous confessions, with moderation that still applies

A confession can carry no author at all. The community rules apply to it exactly as they do to everything else.

Some things only get said when a name isn't attached — the worry, the unpopular opinion, the thing you've never told anyone. Confessions on Asyncbit are the place for them. On the web a confession is anonymous by default; on Android you switch anonymity on when you write it. An anonymous confession shows no author anywhere in the product: not in the feed, not on your profile, not in search.

Anonymity on Asyncbit is deliberately narrow. Confessions, Q&A questions and polls can be anonymous. Moments, achievements, recommendations, events and marketplace listings are always posted under your name, and comments are always named — including comments you leave on your own anonymous confession. If you reply to people underneath it, your name shows on those replies.

Two consequences are worth knowing before you post. Because an anonymous post carries no author, you can't edit or delete it yourself afterwards; only moderators can remove it. And anonymity isn't an exemption from the rules: confessions fall under the community guidelines, can be reported, and go through the same moderation as everything else. Asyncbit keeps the internal records it needs to enforce those rules, as the privacy policy explains.

How anonymous confessions works on Asyncbit

  1. 1

    Choose Confession in the composer

    On the web it starts anonymous; on Android, turn anonymity on before you post. Check the setting either way, because it decides whether your name appears.

  2. 2

    Read it twice before posting

    Once an anonymous confession is live you can't edit or delete it. If you might want to take it back tomorrow, wait before posting.

  3. 3

    The community responds

    People react and comment as they would on any post. Their comments carry their names, and any comment you add will carry yours.

  4. 4

    Moderation applies

    Banned-word filters, rate-based auto-moderation, member reports and the human moderation team all cover confessions. Moderators can remove an anonymous post that breaks the rules.

What makes it worth using

No author shown anywhere

An anonymous confession isn't shown on your profile or linked to your name.

Never in search engines

Confessions are kept out of search engines, whatever your search-visibility setting.

Anyone can report it

Every reader can report an anonymous post to the moderation team.

The rules apply equally

Harassment is still harassment when it's anonymous, and it's handled the same way.
