Wow this is really cool. I would love for something like this to get popular. I don’t know why, but this concept seems so early 2000s ... no profile pictures... no logins... no b.s. - Just free and open discussion. Sucks that there aren’t any active conversations. OP, did you make this service?

I'm touched that you think it's cool. It's my passion project I built to try and make an impact on the divisiveness and polarization in society but it hasn't been well-received.

Thanks to your comment, I'm wondering about a new approach. Before, I was pitching politicians that they should get their own number to have a forum for community discussions. But maybe I should try to start my own community about politics and incline people to call in to share their perspectives. You think that could lead to somewhere?

Idk, but if you have any thoughts or ideas I'd love to hear em. The project is in its death throes right now.

Dude, I would tell Twitch.tv streamers about it, so their fans could call in and talk... I would promote it on college campuses... They're in need of something like this after the death of the Yik Yak app. You could push this project on Twitter, etc.

I'll personally shill this on my university's campus for you, but don't give up on this. I'm sure there are a lot of other people who feel the same way that I do. This is a REALLY cool idea!!
