Pseudonymity is a big one and the relative lack of censoring (aside from self-censoring to fit into the prevalent group-think.)

Pseudonymity cuts both ways in this context. You couldn't have something like Reddit's /r/suicidewatch without it.

I'll grant that the pseudonymity cuts both ways but in that mindset doesn't everything? There's trade-offs to pseudonymity, anonymity and real identities but each has contextual value.
