Social media is dangerous
Sharing your opinion could cost you your job, ruin your life or even get you killed in today's political climate. It doesn't have to be that way, so we're fixing it. Share your opinion, ideas and thoughts anonymously. No more creating fake email accounts just to sign up. No more bullshit.
Every account is anonymous with a randomly assigned username. No one is verified. Everyone matters. Opinions of the rich, powerful & famous are the same as everyone else's on rillr:.
Free speech is one of the most important foundations of a free society. No one should be afraid of opposing ideas or opinions. A civilized society also has rules and etiquette that all citizens should strive to follow too. We encourage civility. Don't be an asshole.
You will be banned for inciting or threatening violence, obscenity, defamation, child pornography or explicit sexual material or any speech not protected by the US 1st Amendment. Other than that, it is free speech the way it should be.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions and our answers.
-
Is this really necessary?
Yes, it is. In today's political climate what you say could ruin your life. Some examples: You are pro gun and support the US 2nd Amendment, you're trans and support LGBTQ+ rights, you are pro Israel / pro Palestinian, you are pro / anti environmental issues, you are pro / anti abortion. Having opinions about these issues one way or another could cost you your job depending on where you work. We think that is bullshit. Just because you have a strong opinion or are just having a bad day and want to vent, that doesn't mean your life should be ruined. Vent here then get on with your life. Venting is a great stress reliever.
-
What are the benefits of creating an account?
You can like or dislike posts without having an account. However, in order to post or comment you need to create an account. Creating an account also allows you to save posts, follow other users, become a moderator or place an ad. All account names start with rillr: followed by a number.
-
Can I reset my password if I forgot?
Since we don't keep identifying information like your phone number or email address you cannot reset your password. If you forget your password then you're shit out of luck (SOL). You can't do one thing? If you really can't remember, just create another account because your old account isn't recoverable. All accounts that are inactive for 30 days are automatically deleted.
-
Is it really anonymous?
Yes, it is. Your account isn't tied to your email address or phone number. The only possible ways to identify you are via your ip address or your browser fingerprint. Those are up to you to mask or conceal should you choose to do so.
-
Why did I get banned?
You most likely said something that is illegal based on the US 1st Amendment. You may not incite violence, threaten or defame people. Or you posted spam. Just because you can be an asshole, doesn't mean you have to be one. Be nice.
-
What if someone gets offended?
Who cares? Let them be offended.
-
Won't this just lead to hate speech?
Per the US 1st Amendment, there's really no such thing as hate speech. All speech is protected under the law. In fact, this is the point of rillr: While the courts may uphold your right to freedom of speech, it is rarely free of consequences like losing your job. We don't feel that's the way a civilized society should function. You should be able to share your opinion freely and without consequences. Unfortunately, the only way to do that in today's political climate is anonymously.
-
Why do you implement a countdown timer when submitting posts or comments?
We use this instead of captchas to prevent bots from spamming. It also gives you a minute to think about what you're going to post or comment.
-
How do you make money?
We make money from advertising, merch, and promoted content.
-
Why is rillr: better than other social media platforms?
On other social media platforms, the rich and famous rule. Good luck to the little guy. On rillr:, no one is verified. Everyone is incognito like a giant masquerade ball. This means that only what is said actually matters. This means all voices are heard equally and everyone's opinion matters. Power to the people.
-
Do you have a mobile app?
No. Our website is completely mobile friendly. Just create a shortcut on your phone's home screen.
-
This is great. How can I support you?
You can support us by using the site and spreading the word. You can also support us by buying merch. There's cool hoodies, t-shirts, hats and coffee mugs.
-
Why did my post get removed?
It could be because of something against our terms. Also, post that aren't formatted properly will be removed too. Multiple videos or image embeds will be removed if they aren't astetically pleasing. Make sure your post looks decent. We don't want this looking like a train wreck like Reddit.
-
Do I need to worry about cropping videos or images in a post?
No. Just add an image or video link and click add. The image or video will be cropped to reasonable dimensions if they are too large.
