!Hubzilla Support Forum Hi everybody!
This may be a stupid question but... I'm wondering how Hubzilla could be used to collect anonymous feedback from users or have people exchange anonymous messages. Like a virtual suggestion box, where people feel safe to posts criticism and feedback without anybody knowing who they were.
The idea is to enable university students for which we want to use Hubzilla as a social network to be able to express concerns, suggestions or problems to members of staff or student representatives anonymously (so it should be limited to the same hub and specific channels/accounts). Is there a way to do that with build-in functionality or have there been experimental apps etc. that can do this? Sorry, if this has been asked before and I haven't found it. Thanks for reading!

@Emanuel That's an interesting approach, the hub is indeed federated. But I guess we would prefer the solution to be on the same hub.

@Michal Klodner Well, maybe not on an abstract level, but the idea is to use Hubzilla as a social network to augment real world interaction that is not available atm because of all teaching being virtual. Having students be able to give anonymous feedback would be the alternative to forward requests via the students council in person which doesn't work well atm because students also don't meet on a regular basis. So technically it's not Hubzilla-specific, but in practice it would be a nice-to-have.

@Mike Macgirvin Thanks, that's the direction I was thinking of. I will try that. Federating over different protocols would not be an issue in this specific scenario (or at least we don't believe it would be rn) but it's good to know the limitations.
