CITIZEN DOSSIER

Venting to strangers online has been a thing since the early internet... forums, chat rooms, anonymous message boards. There was something useful about saying something real to someone who had no context about your life. Most of those spaces are gone now, replaced by platforms that want your name, your photo, and your engagement. But the need didn't go away. People still need somewhere to put the things they can't say to anyone they know. Anonymous venting isn't weird. It's just honest.
