A comment on Ask HN: How might HN build a social network together?. Parent comment
Writing anonymously or with pseudonyms is as old as feather pens. It allowed people to denounce tyrants and allowed women to publish their writings.
To force everyone to show an id to publish is either very naive or ill-intented to push us into a full Orwellian framework.
'Shitposting' or scorn writing is the price to pay so that anonymity is there for when you _truly_ need it.
