Psuedo-anonymity like usernames breeds assholes (See: Basically every comment section/reddit/forum.) but actual anonymity breeds super assholes (See: Basically every chan.)
So true it’s sad. I have to block people daily
Facebook is worse
Every last chan? Every?
this place is anonymous, just make a burner account
It already is? Just create an anonymous account.
Technically psuedonymous but gets the job done
With better meta moderation tools, like slashdot used to have, it would be good
But anonymous posting works already, you did it using a brand new account to post this post.
Seconded. Plus it should be something that is up to each community to decide whether to allow or not. Maybe up to individual users/clients as well
I like the thought of seeing posts by "Anonymous Coward" again.
Anonymity generally just gives people a pass to be even bigger assholes. I'm good.
How would blocking / muting work? I imagine anonymous posts to be, on average, worse that even burner-account posts.
Wouldn't mind, as long as there's a (default on?) setting to hide anon posts and comments.
I personally don't see the value. If I'd want to talk about stuff, I don't want my username associated with, maybe
- the internet is not the right place to have this discussion or
- I wouldn't want it associated to my account by any means, so would most likely create a burner account.
I also wonder if it wouldn't make moderation harder?
It would be basically an imageboard like 4chan. Those have their advantages and disadvantages. I think it should be a thing in principle but communities should be allowed to say they don't want anonymous posts.
I think it would be kind of like colliding Reddit and 4chan.
ew..
No, thx.
How would you feel? Why just ask the question?
@Hayley566@lemmyusa.com are you just asking a lot of questions to keep us busy? Or are you reading this, just not commenting (yet)?
