There is nothing good that can come of having this app. This does unbelievable damage to kids’ self-esteem and mental health. (“Why are you even alive? Nobody likes you.”) In addition, Tellonym allows plenty run-of-the-mill cyberbullying like: “You think you have friends, Sophie, but we all really hate you.” And because the company promises it will never reveal who posts this garbage, there is nothing you can do but request to delete it (which they may or may not), and then calm your devastated child who installed the app behind your back, because “Everyone has it.” Oh, and it’s the perfect haven for pedophiles to contact tweens and teens, masquerading as kids themselves and asking your child seemingly innocent questions like where they go to school, or requesting that they post a photo! Found some of those, too. Some messages seem to taunt users to consider suicide. It is heaven for trolls who want to post the most vile, graphically violent, racist, misogynistic and sexual messages imaginable.

Kids should not have it.ĭetail: This is an app that allows anyone to post anything about other users, while remaining anonymous. It’s the same amount of genuine interaction with followers 😑 If I want fake questions not sent by friends or followers that badly, I can just anon them to myself. This is my BIGGEST complaint with tellonym. These need to be gotten rid of to not clog up the inbox or send a notification that there’s a question when it’s just a boring question generated by the app. If you delete them, another will come in a few minutes. They’re very basic question that are not fun to answer and just exist to help get tellonym’s name out there. The bot questions the app generates on its own are VERY annoying. This may be fine for people who use it casually with friends attached to a personal account, but it’s not so good for online creators who stay somewhat anonymous. The app itself frequently prompts you to add personal information you may not want tied to an account online (occupation, gender, phone number). It’s been an adequate replacement to let my followers send in ideas and comments and the like. First off, I downloaded tellonym when curioiscat suddenly disappeared.
