It allows for taboo topics which could be the worst if you subscribe society norms.

Remember if everyone was anonymous so would personal traits which forces judging on material and people not taking things personally because their real id isn't attach to this idea

You mean like sharing child sexual abuse material and discussing how to start a race war? Yes, I subscribe to the norm that this is bad.

that doesn't require an end to anonymity, just decent moderation.
