I already put this up on idea validation , I just needed some more clarity as to whether I am headed in the right direction. I was planning on building an anonymous vertical community for college students where students can register only using their college email ids.Its like twitter but users have an option to post ephemeral content as well something like Snapchat snaps.Since college email ids are valid only for four years users get to spend 4 years on the app.After this if they want to continue using work email they have to pay a bit extra and come they do so their feed will have professionals sharing stuff anonymously.So yeah looking forward to a healthy discussion.

But don't you think that this wouldn't be so unique for them. If you think anonymity is usp but there are several anonymous platforms like hood, hunch. And if you think that it is a vertical platform and students can interact with the people like themselves and discuss problems than I I think there are many reddit communities which are already focused on this. As a college student I would definitely choose reddit over any other new social media app for connecting with people like me

Most people who had tried it during my college time failed, ultimately because of the fact that you get an user for an avg 3 years, and then it’s gone. When will you monetise, retain. Etc. secondly there are 4000+ colleges i think, IIT,IIMS are closed doors, to strangers. It’s not a viable idea in my opinion.

I think it will be confusing for the user to be on the app while deciding to use it professionally and informally. also how will you segregate these two formats of communication on your app. if it comes to building communities reddit is alr a very great place.

Okay I got your idea but as far as ik there are many confession pages on Instagram they can be specific to the college or job or even in general for all like why would people pay you if they want to do smth like this they can create their own one acc and make thier fake IDs and do the same thing on Instagram no need to pay anyone right?

You sure you will not pivot to the community based SM? (Like every college having their own community?). I am not saying that would be bad, but if that's inevitable due to the business model, plan ahead, since you will be competing with Discord and the likes then.
