I keep hearing dreadful stories about toxic advisors (mostly from engineering lol). I'm surprised there's no public forum to anonymously share things like this for prospective students/postdocs. does that exist already?

Gradcafe might have a sub forum to discuss specific graduate school experiences. Reddit has channels for graduate school, grad students, and academics.
true - i’ve posted some of these on reddit but i always feel like they’re a little out of place for the channel. it would be nice if there were one central, easy-to-find spot.
I agree. Just sharing places I’ve seen such experiences vented. For whatever it is worth, I hope the situation gets better, and you find a suitable place to share it.
My institution has a site license with https://togetherall.com/ and during a required first semester course we encourage all students to take advantage of it as needed. Doesn’t leak to prospectives, but gives students support for dealing with it.
true exceeeept i’ve heard a lot of these things about other departments / schools and i wish there were a way for me to warn people (other than showing up at various grad mixers i wasn’t invited to hehe)
