Do not get this app! I got it about a month ago, and it was already starting to negatively affect my mental health. The anonymity removes any consequence for what is posted; I have seen people take others photos without permission and post things that are clearly not permitted according to the app’s community guidelines. They claim to have regulations but frankly I don’t see those being enforced nearly enough for the app to be safe. It makes me feel paranoid that someone will take a photo of me without permission and post it if I do anything to stand out. I was way better off not knowing that students at my school were so toxic, and it’s hard for me to trust anyone I don’t already know. It honestly makes me wonder if they just made an extra step that says not to post inappropriate content but didn’t pay to have anyone moderate anything. For this app to be safe, the regulations it claims to have need to be enforced!!!

i deleted the app after posting something that was “removed for violating community guidelines” (re: prejudice / bigotry clause) 3 times. the post was as follows (exact quote , and i have screenshots): “who wants to be friends :3 ? pc / xbox gaming / never been to parties but i will if you want Lol / no hook ups” i downloaded fizz bc i have severe social anxiety and struggle with making friends but am an extrovert who is VERY lonely, and i heard it was more popular on my campus than yikyak. in the single 24 hours i had it, this same post was deleted 3 times. i have no idea how this “engages in prejudice based on race, class, ethnicity, body type, ability, religion, gender identity, and/or sexual orientation”. this AI moderation is so frustrating because mine gets deleted but my campus’ fizz is riddled with sexual content & misogyny. on top of that, half the posts look like they’re written by AI (really basic stuff like “anyone else sleeping in today?”) and i think bots mass upvote posts to boost the algorithm (how did a 7 year old meme get 300 upvotes in under an hour?) it’s just not worth it for me, so i’m back to yikyak.

I’d give negative points if possible for the deplorable use of AI to “auto detect breach of ToS”. The app could be so cool and useful if it weren’t for the fact that every little thing triggers the AI to suspending and muting my account. Mention the President of my schools last name informing others of how he’s financially crippling the school in a cordial manner? I’m putting “personal info” out there that could hurt him. Tell people he’s using campus resources for selfish projects that benefit no one but him when the schools struggling financially? I’m silenced because I put him in jeopardy. Say me and someone were sucking toes, I’m apparently harassing people. Your app is a dud, stop using AI to skim comments because it keeps giving false readings of what’s an actual offense and what’s legitimate content. I’ve gotten my comments and posts removed 5-10 times (whatever leads to a 24 hour mute) and each of them is because of a false reading.
