tellonym - anonymous questions 17+

This app is fun and safe, the only problem is people don’t have much intuition to send you a message if it’s on your instagram because they have to go to your bio, click the link and leave the app to use it ;-; It’s the user/users parents responsibility to ensure bullying doesn’t happen, if you receive Nasty comments you can delete the comment or just delete the app and nothing happens. Also if you report the comment it blocks that user from msging you on the app. Anything anonymous leaves room for bullying it’s just a way of life and as long as you can separate constructive criticism from unnecessary verbal attacks you’re fine. Finally for all the parents saying their child was bullied, why allow them on the app if you find it so harmful, surely reading the description you could’ve noticed the risk and not allowed it? Not to mention the fact it’s a 17+ for a reason. Perhaps it’s an issue with your parenting you have uncovered.

Tellonym is a great way to get to know others but people do use it in the wrong way. I had this last year when I was 12 in year 7 I got the nastiest comments on it people were calling me fat saying that I was ugly and my confidence really went down which made me wear more makeup when that was happening people were saying wearing makeup is bad and people who wear makeup aren’t trustworthy and are ugly and it really did damage me. My best friend at the time wasn’t even helping and was acting like nothing was happening and when she did something wrong I would get the blame and get all the hate for it at the end of 2019 I deleted it. A few months later I got it back but didn’t put the link in my Instagram bio for a while then like a few months ago I put it in because I wasn’t getting hate at all when I put the link in i didn’t get any hate until august a few months ago I got a massive unneeded paragraph and it did bring me down a bit but not as much I was just confused why they did it because I was barely on social media compared to in 2019 when I put my whole life on it so i was confused and just thought they were bored and replied with a nice sentence saying bullying isn’t cool either. So I would suggest not to get this app because even if you delete the tells you still had to read it and it would damage you so please don’t get this app as I don’t want it damaging people like it did to me. 1 star.

tellonym seems like a great idea- a way for creators to answer questions their followers want answering without a sense of forced intimacy which comes from directly messaging someone. but it's so slow. so so so soooo slow. i've just about gotten past the sign up phase, and i can't even send the link to my account to anyone on my instagram page because the app takes too long to edit my profile. all i need to do is add a profile picture. that's all i need to do. so i wanted 10 minutes for it to load. 10 whole minutes. and it still hasn't loaded. it refuses to load. now my profile picture is just a massive 'H'.

before anyone tries to criticise me- my wifi is fine. i can go on social media fine and everything loads fine. it is purely just tellonym that refuses to load for a whole 10 minutes. i really don't know how people get past the sign up phase. please fix this bug because it's really annoying and i can't use tellonym until it's fixed.
