Tyler and I created Yik Yak to let people connect with everyone around them, and it’s become a place where communities share news, crack jokes, ask questions, offer support, and build camaraderie. It’s also a place where communities can engage in open and honest conversation – and we love seeing discussion that is productive and thoughtful. With the power of open and honest conversation comes a great level of individual responsibility, however, because those words form the basis of a community. And at its core, Yik Yak is your community; it’s an extension of the real world directly around you.
