I disagree. Anonymity allows you to express unpopular views that you wouldn't be able to in real life. But the existence of downvoting basically defeats that, except in unpopular echo chambers, of course.
- alex_young 9y agoWhat if your unpopular view you wouldn't express in real life is something abusive towards others? i.e. trolling.

- cup-of-tea 9y agoWho decides what is "trolling"? I think there should be moderators but that it's possible to see what moderators have done and impossible for them to actually delete posts. That way each person can decide if they are happy with the moderation being done.
- SeanLuke 9y agoI'm not saying anonymity doesn't have its place. But that I think it's a major factor in the particular problem being discussed here.
