gherkin Feature: Anonymous Text Messaging As a user of the decentralized social network, I want to send and receive anonymous text messages, So that I can communicate with others online without revealing my identity. Scenario: User sends an anonymous message Given I am a user of the social network And I am logged in And I am on the anonymous messaging page When I compose a message And I select a recipient Then the message is sent anonymously to the recipient Scenario: User receives an anonymous message Given I am a user of the social network And I am logged in And I have received an anonymous message When I open the message Then I can read the message contents And I cannot see the sender's identity Scenario: User reports an abusive message Given I am a user of the social network And I have received an anonymous message And the message is abusive or offensive When I report the message Then the message is removed from my inbox And the sender's identity is logged and flagged for review Scenario: User blocks a sender Given I am a user of the social network And I have received an anonymous message And the message is unwanted or spam When I block the sender Then I will no longer receive messages from that sender Scenario: User sets preferences for anonymous messages Given I am a user of the social network And I am logged in And I am on the anonymous messaging preferences page When I select my preferences for receiving anonymous messages Then my preferences are saved And I will only receive anonymous messages from users who match my preferences
The goal of these user cases is to provide a secure and anonymous way for users to communicate with one another.
