Hmm seems like either the randomisation function is very, very broken or the same confessions have been entered thousands of times, since I've seen the same two confessions about ten times so far.
Quality control seems questionable too, but hey, maybe I'd disagree if I saw a more varied set of answers.
Am I burning those 200 views if I see the same confession multiple times? The random selector can show you ones you’ve just seen. That or Sarah Pearson’s been extra busy.
I suppose with all the spillover from the web back into real life these days the view limit is needed. Lowbrow stored stories until lowbrow stopped existing.
There's another "anonymous message server" I've been using since the late 90s where you just get whatever the person before you to the site wrote. It is amazingly still going today but I think linking it on HN would kill it.
I'm sure I'm not the only one here who remembers trolls on slashdot back in the day. There was one consistent theme about "gay n-word". GNAA. That's what I'm suddenly reminded of.
In hindsight I think some of that old trolling was people's mental health problems on display.
Back in early 2000 there was a confession website. I forget the name. But man some of the confessions on there… can’t unread that stuff 20 years later…
