I Built an Antisocial Platform to Explore Anonymous Expression Online

As developers, we often build for engagement — metrics, profiles, recommendations. I wanted to go in the exact opposite direction.

So I built LIBRE: libreantisocial.com

An anonymous web platform where:
• No one follows you
• No one likes your content
• There’s no feed, no timeline, no history
• Every post is disconnected, anonymous, and temporary

The interaction model is simple:
You write something and send it into the void. Someone might see it. They might respond (anonymously). Or not. There’s no pressure, no trace, and no stats.

New features recently added:
• 🌍 Accurate country detection (193 countries supported)
• 🌐 Language filter (English & Spanish)
• ✍️ Auto-draft saving (in case the tab closes unexpectedly)
• 🔢 Character counter for posts

This is a minimalist social experiment — an attempt to reclaim digital space for expression without performance. No JavaScript trickery, no fingerprinting, no tracking cookies. Just plain server-side logic and randomness.

It’s not a product. It’s a tool for thinking, sharing, and letting go.

If you want to try it, or maybe even contribute thoughts on it:
