minus-square@usrOPlink4•3 years agoWell the university students and the ex-alumni range in the tens of thousands and a Whatsapp group caps at 255 users and becomes unusable at 100. Not to mention that a forum/reddit alternative covers a niche totally different from a chatroom. (also anonymity is a plus)
minus-square@nothuman@baraza.africalinkfedilink2•3 years agoThey need to have the email checked, where’s the privacy?
minus-square@usrOPlink3•3 years agoPrivacy != Anonymity, I may be a rando but I’m not the university administration nor is anyone gonna be called at 3:00 AM by some creep in the group. This is obviously just if people are that interested in the student-only shtick, I may just go vanilla.
