>The original OP I replied to asserted it was a negative-only application. But it is just a tool and blaming the code for the actions of its users erases any good that it may also do.
Actually I didn't say that it was negative-only application. I said that it was a nasty tool for nasty people to do nasty things. Nice people can use a nasty tool to do good things, but since the usage of Secret cliff dived as soon as nasty people weren't able to do nasty things anymore, then I think we can conclude it really had only one function - to help nasty people to be nasty.
Edit. I suspect that the founders didn't expect this to be the only use for Secret, but the investors should have known better given the history of anonymous platforms.
