There's a feature where you can post to groups anonymously, still using your real account, rather than creating a new account with fake data to make you appear anonymous.

There's a dead comment sibling to this one talking about how group admins can see through the anominity. I don't understand why it is dead. It wasn't even rudely stated. Is it just flat wrong, or did it cross some unknown social boundary by pointing out a fact? Was it edited posthumously?

Edit: And, when I refresh it's not dead... I don't understand this system apparently.

If enough people vouch for a dead comment it goes back to normal. That's probably what you saw.
