When anonymity enters a conversation, something interesting happens.
People stop performing and start being honest.

While building Desi NGL, I kept noticing the same pattern. When names, profiles, and social expectations disappear, the messages change. They are not louder or more dramatic. They are calmer, more thoughtful, and often more real.

This made me wonder if attention was ever the real goal. Or if people simply want a space where they can say what they actually think without worrying about screenshots, judgment, or awkward consequences.

At the same time, anonymity comes with responsibility. Complete freedom without safety can quickly break trust. So the real question is not whether anonymous platforms should exist, but how they should be designed to encourage honesty without enabling harm.
