1. Purpose of the Site

Let’s Spill the Tea (LSTT) is an independently run, anonymous entertainment platform that allows users to share spontaneous, emotional, or fictional messages for the purpose of storytelling, humor, and interactive discovery. It is not a forum, social media platform, or advice service. It is not a place for abuse, personal attacks, or clinical disclosures requiring professional intervention. Rather, it is designed as a passive interactive site that includes entertainment narrative layers.
