In their own words
Jodel
Jodel is a local social networking app for anonymous conversations with people nearby. Users can share messages, images, and videos, ask questions, and follow local updates without profiles. Its feed includes local news, events, confessions, jokes, and other nearby posts. Longer threads, pinned content, and channels provide ways to follow topics. Upvotes and downvotes shape visibility: a post leaves the feed when its vote difference reaches minus five. Sensitive posts are hidden by default, with session-level content preferences available. Direct messaging includes blocking in chats and muting replies from selected users on your posts. Jodel says AI scans uploaded images and videos for non-compliant content and detects spam or coordinated abuse; uncertain cases can go to human moderators. Some website posts can be viewed without an app account. The service runs on Android, iOS, and the web, is free with in-app purchases, and requires users to be at least 16. Personal data may be processed outside the EU and EEA with stated safeguards.
