Hey! How do you suggest I should do the permissions for creating a discussion? Nothing at all?

There are no need for permissions if the link per discussion is obscure and you use HTTPS. In that case the link is the password

Check it out now. Thank you.

No encryption, proprietary, wants an account, don't trust it!

No need for an account. Try it again. Cheers.

Nothing with Cloudflare is truly anonymous. Open source it or I'll make my own and open source that.

I'm all for free speech and privacy. But in the 30+ years I've been online, the actual trendline I've observed is that anonymous, uncensored forums evolve quickly into a vector for delivering speech that promotes hate, violence, anti-consumer agendas and anti-democratic politics. And if I had an alternative to propose, I would do it, but I don't. I'm not (at all!) saying all internet discourse should be in censored forums. I'm just saying that when people spread lies and make threats with no accountability, the people most likely to defend that behavior are the ones who don't, themselves, feel threatened and/or might even believe the lie. And that's before we get into how these things become platforms for bots.

Unfortunately it is a necessary compromise, because free speech is essential to a working civilization.

I'll vibe code a better one that's actually anonymous and stores nothing on disk, then open-source it.

Keeping discussion local is the key, as someone could acquire Wheesper one day and anything could happen at that point - just as browser extensions change hands and things can head south fast.

This is awesome! Feedback would be to increase the visual density of the posts / replies (taking from HN or Reddit) because right now there's a lot of space between each line.

Is it better now? Cheers for the feedback man.
