It's not that hard to be as anonymous as you like on Quora. It's been a while since I contributed, because I got tired of their schizophrenic moderation, but I don't recall that mobile text authentication was necessary. Unlike say, Twitter. And even that isn't all that hard to get around, using hosted SIMs.
- codexon 8y agoCan you elaborate on the hosted SIMs thing? More and more websites are starting to ask for SMS verification and blocking VOIP numbers like google voice and it is getting really annoying.

- dreyfiz 8y agoIt's impossible for me to be as anonymous as I like on Quora, because they require a government ID with the name I want to use. Which isn't even that weird! It's my legal last name, plus my childhood nickname for a first name. Your name just didn't provoke their Real Name Gestapo.
- mirimir 8y agoHuh. Good to know, thanks.
