Fizz: What's Fizzin'? Hack 1.13.24 + Redeem Codes

I am an avid user and early adopter of this app at my school, and I really enjoy it, it fixes so many things I dislike about social media and even when it’s stupid I still find useful info about what is happening on my campus faster than any other medium. However, it does have a major problem, and that is blocking. I have a stalker who was able to identify my posts, and even after I blocked my stalker comments were still viewable to them. I still get notifications when they call me out by name on comments or reFizzes and the only solution would be to irreversibly delete my account. While I can understand why this is a more difficult issue to fix than it seems this should be a development priority and until then I can only say: download this app, but post nothing

I found this app about a week or so ago and i’ve grown to love it, but they updated posting amounts by making you “wait a FEW MINUTES” before making a post after you’ve posted 3 within like a half hour to an hour? 🤨 Sometimes I just have a lot on my mind and want to post so why am I being put in time out just leaving and reentering the app every few minutes to try to post again. I’m not exactly sure how long it makes you wait because usually I leave the app out of frustration because I can’t post on it (yasss user engagement!). I get spamming issues, but maybe there should be a cooldown for people flagged for spam by… MODERATORS? Why am I forced to be shut up by an app who spreads… community? Socialization? Also the way I can’t even use my handle anymore for ALL of my posts? 🤔 What was the point of this change? So now not only are my posts unable to be verifiably posted by ME, but I truly don’t understand the point? Can other people not just enter their pseudonym as my handle? I don’t know… but I do know that i’m getting frustrated with the updates 😩 Just let me post freely please!!!

At my school (Stanford), everyone I know is on Fizz. I use the app mostly for campus news and memes. It’s really fast paced because there’s literally a new post every minute but that’s what makes it good. The DMs are also pretty useful if you want to get advice from others while staying anonymous.

A couple suggestions: allow people to send images in DMs, allow posting of videos

Fizz is fun and everything until you factor in the fact that it’s full of young adults that know no boundaries. Moderation is lacking and sometimes the mods flag things that don’t even violate guidelines but they’ll let racist, sexist, or even posts threatening violence go. I tried to let it go but it turned into a cesspool really fast. It promotes a mob mentality and another status quo that people, especially college students, love. However, just because they love it doesn’t mean it’s good. Bullying is very prevalent, inciting violence is also prevalent. There were posts promoting mowing protesters down, doxxing was promoted, and more. I got tired, deleted my account, and I don’t plan on ever creating another. This is a social app that allows people to put others down for the simplest things and no one is watching and no one cares.

So I was hired as a mod for Fizz a few weeks ago, did an interview, signed the contract and everything with one of the higher ups, attended one of the training sessions which were from 9-11pm on Friday night, admittedly couldn’t stay for the entire session, left after 30-40 minutes, and then the morning of the day of the launch I was secretly removed from my role with no context and told I was no longer a moderator. When I asked why I fired, they told me it was because I didn’t stay the full session last Friday night? There was no warning that you would be fired if you could not stay the full session, or how long the session would be for. I just don’t understand. I stayed for a good majority of the session and even have the notes and slides on how to be a mod. This organization is run by a bunch of greedy cowards.

This is the worst app I have ever come across. Blatant bullying, harmful, inappropriate, unsolicited photos of young kids, and hateful words being said about kids. This app is marketed towards young adults in college and is creating pain, drama, and creates rumors that are either extremely harmful to the victim or simply just false. The reporting feature on the app has a button that allows you to try to take down these awful posts… but they still stay up no matter what the post is. This anonymous app is just another resource for cyber bullying and an extremely harmful one. I would seriously advice this app being taken down or remodeled because it has taken a tole on the lives of many young adults’ mental health and well being.

Give hormonal college students the ability to post anonymous seemingly unmoderated posts about anything they’d like, what do you think will happen. Most posts are overly sexual, people trying to find drugs, and as one of the other reviews stated, the app seems prone to inadvertently support bullying. There is a good chunk people seemingly genuinely interested in the app, sharing information about misc topics or sharing memes. I was impressed with how effective their launch was and the amount of users they got using the app. I think this app has a lot of promise but in its current state I find the app a little disgusting, nothing to do with the devs or the team, just a matter of how it’s users are currently using the app.

I legitimately use Fizz more than instagram, snap, and tiktok combined lol. There's new content all the time and it's all so funny and relatable. Plus the different features and different kinds of posts are so cool and endlessly entertaining! If you're not on Fizz you're missing out on one of the best ways to be part of campus culture and community imo

While I have enjoyed using this app and the actually real posts on it, I don’t like the practices this company uses to artificially inflate how much user interaction people think there is. The app is designed to add fake upvotes to your posts and also add fake responses to polls people post (for example basically every poll has like 50 votes for one option and 0 for all the others). The app is also filled with bots that spam content, and considering the other practices of this company I have no doubt these bots are created by them too.

The app has its benefits when it comes to getting information fast…… but it soons turn into a platform that people who go to the university and who don’t go to the university to hide behind anonymous messages and expose people business or even bully those because they have an option of being anonymous
