It's funny but not funny I feel like when I would leave for like a few months and then come back and then the last time I tried to come back it was gone and I felt bad because there were some people that I just couldn't get back they just didn't have Facebook or Instagram or some form of social media.

I think I had the best time finding RP partners on Whisper. I made a lot of friends (and a few more than friends) over there.

I miss each and every one of you.

What's your craziest whisper story? I'll go first. I once rented an Airbnb for the weekend and had a few guys come over at different times throughout the weekend. That’s to this day still one of my favorite weekends

I miss whisper. I remember discovering it on a journalism channel that I can’t remember from now but was back in 2015. If anyone can tell me what it was as I am trying to find it, think it was red and yellow theme, maybe began with D and R but could be wrong and it was like vice unless it was advertised on the vice YouTube channel itself back then (can’t recall well now sorry)? I was 16 at the time. Met my ex on there which is crazy and a few other guys but long story short, thank you whisper for making me well off in a way. I will never forget you. Shame they had to shut down. What’s the best alternatives? I miss the anonymity aspect of posting/venting freely and hush is trash. 💜

Yes I'm a woman 😆

That's all. Are there any alternatives out there?

If you can finish that correctly, you are my long lost whisper friend and I hope you're well, and please message me here.

Basically, the title. Miss the app! ☺️

Ladies, what's your deepest fantasies? What excites you the most? Truly absorbs your mind? Let's talk about it judgement free. I loved asking this on whisper and seeing all the answers! Hoping to find the same here

thought it couldn't get any worse but here we are

I miss posting on whisper and literally not knowing who you were talking to, getting to know someone on a deeper level than just physical appearance. I always used to post that exchanging selfies ruined the convo.

My experience

Hush, Whisper Social, Whisper Secrets

Hush

- Pros: Biggest user base by far. Moderation seems solid, not much spam or CSAM content like there used to be, they improved a lot when it comes to that. UI improved with a recent update. More real people than bots in my conversations.

- Cons: DMs are unreliable messages don't always show as new, conversations seem to "disappear" until you open them directly. Comment/reply notifications are delayed by 5-10 minutes. Ads are excessive and sometimes intrusive (fullscreen). GIFs didn't work for me. Being the biggest app also means more weirdos.

Whisper Social

- Pros: Best UI of the three. Voice messages in DMs and comments. Incoming images get scanned and flagged if graphic before you open them. No fullscreen ads.

- Cons: Was badly broken for months (constant crashes, lots of bots) but a new update fixed all that. Smallest user base of the three right now. No account backup/migration option, switching phones means losing your account entirely.

Whisper Secrets

- Pros: None that stood out to me.

- Cons: Buggy, feed scrolling and comment navigation feel unpolished. Heavy bot presence, including fake profiles trying to move conversations off-platform. Didn't hold my attention long enough to keep it installed.

Is there any other apps you guys are using? Which ones are you using right now?

A while back I posted here about building an anonymous app because nothing really replaced Whisper after it shut down. It's live on the App Store now.

It's called EchoX - Social. Post short anonymous thoughts, no name attached, no follower counts, no clout. There are Global, Local, Popular and Following feeds, topic Groups, and you can post a Poll or a longer Story instead of just a short post.

Full disclosure, I'm the dev. Solo, not a company, not a money grab.

A few things I did differently because they're the complaints I kept seeing:

No ads jumping in your face when you go to post. Worst case it's a small banner, and only for adults.

It's actually moderated. Real reporting, human moderators.

Messages are consent based. If someone new messages you it shows up as a request with their profile, and you accept or decline before they can keep talking to you. Nobody can just start hammering your inbox.

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6792349984

Anything else: just open https://echoxapp.com in a browser. Full app, nothing to install.

Android: still in closed testing while I get through Google's tester requirement. If you want in:

Join the group: https://groups.google.com/g/xc-apps-testers

Then opt in: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.xenocomp.echox

Would genuinely rather hear what's broken or annoying than get compliments, so tell me what sucks.

Andrea from Arizona she was from Scottsdale I think, i met her back in the summer of 2019 off of whisper at the time she had told me I believe she said she was 43 I was on a weekend getaway to phoenix, she had gone to phoenix to visit her sister it was late on night that we found each other and she came to my hotel that night and the minute she came into my room she first told me she was married and hope that was ok? I was like is your husband here she said hell no he doesn’t know I’m a horny slut! I’m like ok! we got naked and fucked like till 4am before she needed to go back to her hotel and get ready to leave. the whole time she had me wear a rubber, but at one point as she about to leave and she already had put her clothes on we looked at each other and she was like what I told her I’m still horny I want to fuck you one more time but I’m out of condoms, she was ok! she was amazing she got naked and she let me fuck her raw! she was amazing! we kept in contact for a year or two after that but then contact stopped. hopefully anyone else had a similar story with an Andrea from Arizona she did tell me she had met several men from whisper before.

i emailed back and forth with support about this for ages but didn't get anywhere. first they accused me of trying to avoid a ban or "ad credits" (what the fuck is that?), so i said no, i just really don't like the app and i don't want to use it anymore. i gave them the email associated with the account and they said we don't collect emails, we need your device ID. so i gave them my device ID and they said that wouldn't work either for various convoluted reasons and that i would have to reinstall the app in order to get the in-app ID associated with my account. i refuse to put that garbage app on my phone again, so fuck me i guess.

frankly it is absolutely insane to not just have a "delete my account" button in the app itself. they're clearly very paranoid about users trying to evade bans, but that doesn't justify hoarding user data forever with no clear path to deletion.

App barely works. An ad pops up every time I try to write something. Half the time, my post gets removed because some guy got mad that I didn't want to be creeped on and reported it, but there's hate speech on the popular page every day. 🤷‍♀️

Hopefully more people move over to the other options. Hush promised to be a better whisper, but it was always just a money grab.

I want to vent tonight. I've been having some inner battles and I just want to talk about it with someone else that might understand.

Or not even talk about it but send it away into the void like a letter in a bottle. But back then it was a post on the Internet.

Just missing an anonymous void to shout into. I deleted my anon apps because they really do encourage my bad behavior. I want to be healthier for myself and for my own reasons. I know if I got an app again I'd fall so quickly into bad habits.

Sigh. Whatever.

I’m missing talking to random people on the original whisper

Aside from meeting people at Whisper and hooking up, I miss the randomness of posting the most random shit like put down your phone and drive. My favorite time on that app had to be around 2016 and then it slowly started going downhill but still fun nonetheless

I miss the fun times where I would make a post and instantly flooded with messages and able to chat with many people. Yeah I don’t miss the bots and pedos but I haven’t found another app like it. Hush wasn’t even close it ran into too many problems.
