You could actually convert this into some kind of social network. Just enable people to follow each other in some sense, i.e. their messages appear in your feed with higher probability or so. It's nice and somewhat artistic to follow other persons only based on what they say/said, not based on who they are.

We think alike, that's been on the todo list for a while :)

Thanks for the input!

Along those lines: people's handles could be more memorable but still random. Maybe something like the github repository name recommender. "Oh, great, another post from ice-badger-weasel-fox, I love those!"

Good call, I like it!

I would caution you not to go for the cutesy, "random" aesthetic that github does with their name generator. People may not wish to be addressed in that way.

They'll never know if they are, and if they do -- they'll never know by who.

If that's still a problem, I humbly suggest that those people might not be the right audience for a socnet that lets one post only once a day.

maybe ala heroku? whispering-glades-5487

Having zero directed interaction might be a problem, but seeing only 5 thoughts for 24 hours makes you think about those thoughts a lot more and gives you a lot of time to process and answer them. Maybe there are interesting answers to your thoughts and questions you will never know of.
