Client feature request: anonymous feedback
Wouldn't it be nice to have a way to give/get anonymous private feedback?
I learned a great rule in life: praise publicly, criticise/correct privately.
Twitter encourages the opposite as you can't 👎 posts you either give a cheap 👍 or share public disagreement or just ignore the tweet. Humans are prone to dig in if called out publicly while getting a sliver of support.
Alice: X is great
Bob: *like*
Carol doesn't want to hurt Alice' feelings but still writes a reply: X is bad because reasons
Dave, Erin and Frank agree with Carol but remain silent as to not get into a fight with their frend. If they don't feel super strong about the topic, they won't even spare a *like* for Carol.
No matter what, Alice will feel offended and fight back without giving Carol's tweet a second thought.
If they could provide private, anonymous feedback, maybe more would give it to Alice. Maybe the author could even attach a proof to be from a certain group. Alice's follows for example. Without this, bots would go rampant on such a feature.
I would certainly want to read such feedback from my follows even if it was just a private 👎 or a short note: "TLDR" ;)
