“Find your herd” – Yik Yak’s famous motto. But what happens to students when they do? Will the stampede of anonymous opinions run them into the ground, or encourage them to charge alongside the crowd? According to the official Yik Yak website, Yik Yak is an anonymous community app for college students that lets you post, comment and message with anyone assigned a college email address.
“Yik Yak is an anonymous community app for college students that lets you post, comment, and message with your campus,” the Yik Yak website said. “Think campus chatter with real personality and zero name tags.”
Designed for college students, verified with college email addresses and segregated by campus, Yik Yak has become a space for community, self-expression and discussion for college students, alumni and staff. However, through its anonymity, Yik Yak is also home to cyberbullying, gross misinformation and negativity.
