Do submissions need to be in English? If so, that'll prevent a huge chunk of us from participating.

That makes total sense, cheers!

I'll see how to integrate such a feature in SimpleKV so that it keeps being simple. I like the idea a lot, thanks!

Thanks for your feedback! I see input sanitation as a double-edged sword: it could potentially prevent some misuse of the service (since it's 100% anonymous), but then ultimately you're the "owner" of your keys (though they're in reality public) and you should be able to write whatever you want in them.

I guess this argument could also be applied to Pastebin? Should it be returning raw HTML if asked to?

Thank you for your feedback! For now, I wanted to gauge interest and/or traction in such a service. I will definitely add a Donate button in it once the backend starts to max out the VPS where it lives.

As for the backend, it's a Flask-based API. I'll look into your suggestion though!

Thanks! My use case was very specific, but the concept is so simple I was wondering what people would do with it.

re6tor··on Amazon Review Scam
Yup, I have to admit I do this myself. A good amount of things in my household have been acquired like this.

I'm on a few WeChat groups where the reps of different manufacturing firms constantly upload pictures of the newest products they sell on Amazon. For a 5 star review, I'll get a full refund either via Paypal or WeChat Pay.

re6tor··on Trump says he will ban TikTok through executive action
The message that would trascend from such an action is that our vision of how a society should work was no better than the one in China. The West always believed their ideals and principles around "democracy" and "freedom" were superior to those of the CCP.

Now the West also needs to ban <X> (in this case, a social media platform) to function and is no better than its rival. If anything, this would prove the CCP was always right when it applied such measures in the past.

This sets a scary -albeit interesting- precedent.
