I post my tells on my instagram for others to see and it’s really difficult to save a large amount in my camera roll since I need to press two buttons, but out of the 91 tells I have, I accidentally pressed “delete” when I didn’t mean to, therefore deletes the tell I was going to save. It would be greatly appreciated if you could add the “are you sure to delete this tell” button. Another thing I wanted to say was when I save the tell onto my camera roll, the whole thing goes in instead of ellipses, I sometimes explain or people who sends me tells writes a lot so it would be also greatly appreciated if you could make the font smaller or the bottom pfp or something smaller so that the whole thing fits??I’m so sorry but this would make me happy and I don’t know if anyone think so too

First off, I downloaded tellonym when curioiscat suddenly disappeared. It’s been an adequate replacement to let my followers send in ideas and comments and the like. The problems I have for it are 1. The app itself frequently prompts you to add personal information you may not want tied to an account online (occupation, gender, phone number). This may be fine for people who use it casually with friends attached to a personal account, but it’s not so good for online creators who stay somewhat anonymous. 2. The bot questions the app generates on its own are VERY annoying. They’re very basic question that are not fun to answer and just exist to help get tellonym’s name out there. If you delete them, another will come in a few minutes. These need to be gotten rid of to not clog up the inbox or send a notification that there’s a question when it’s just a boring question generated by the app. This is my BIGGEST complaint with tellonym. Get rid of the bot questions. If I want fake questions not sent by friends or followers that badly, I can just anon them to myself. It’s the same amount of genuine interaction with followers 😑

The short version: Tellonym is toxic. Kids should not have it.Detail: This is an app that allows anyone to post anything about other users, while remaining anonymous. It is heaven for trolls who want to post the most vile, graphically violent, racist, misogynistic and sexual messages imaginable. Some messages seem to taunt users to consider suicide. (“Why are you even alive? Nobody likes you.”) In addition, Tellonym allows plenty run-of-the-mill cyberbullying like: “You think you have friends, Sophie, but we all really hate you.” And because the company promises it will never reveal who posts this garbage, there is nothing you can do but request to delete it (which they may or may not), and then calm your devastated child who installed the app behind your back, because “Everyone has it.” Oh, and it’s the perfect haven for pedophiles to contact tweens and teens, masquerading as kids themselves and asking your child seemingly innocent questions like where they go to school, or requesting that they post a photo! Found some of those, too. This does unbelievable damage to kids’ self-esteem and mental health. There is nothing good that can come of having this app. Check your child’s phone and if it’s there, talk to them about why you need to delete it.

It works as promised, I didn’t have any weird bugs or crashes, but had to stop using it bc of the bots. Most services like this have a daily automated question of some kind but you can turn it off, or it’s at least marked as automated, but Tellonym doesn’t do either. I got 6 questions, all very generic “what’s your opinion on..” kinds of questions within an hour of making my account, before I posted anywhere that I had made it, so no one had the opportunity to send anything- it had to be a bot sending them. I run a business and use these kinds of services for my social media platforms to allow people to ask questions about my work that don’t require a one-on-one conversation to avoid opening my DMs to tons of people, and the bots made it near impossible to know which questions were things someone in my audience actually wanted to know and which ones weren’t. I racked up over 100 tells in less than a month and I could only tell around 10 of them were actual people. I don’t want to flood my feed with answering questions no one actually wanted answered and have that overshadow my actual work I’m posting. I reached out to the support account asking if there was a way to stop receiving anything automated and they never responded. I can’t find anything official acknowledging this but I have found other people talking about it- the company seems to not want to acknowledge it but it’s incredibly annoying. The only way I could think of to tell them apart was to pay for their service that gives you hints for who the question may have come from (what device it was sent from, whether it was a registered user, etc) but I don’t think you should have to pay just to not have your inbox flooded with fake questions. I switched to using curiouscat, as I find it much more streamlined and it doesn’t make me guess which of the questions I received are real people.
