Those who are public also suffer for not concealing their identity. I’ve heard a number of times from celebrity interviews that people on the internet are cowards and ‘would never have the courage to say what they said in public’ - as if that’s irrational. We know the cost of honesty and opinions in our society. Our civilization works because we all work hard to preserve the peace via politeness. However, important topics need to be discussed in a serious way. How do we do it without disturbing the peace? Anonymity is what works. Lastly, it’s been a proven method of therapy. Confessional, things like support groups (AA), stuff like this is only possible because we honor this principle of concealment. Blind app is literally a support group at the moment. Everyone there seems to be suffering from work stress. Compare each Blind post to the LinkedIn counter part, how can they be so different? The truth isn’t lining up, but I’m glad we get to see just how different the discourse becomes when your real life reputation is not constantly under threat. Give people a chance to talk without having to look over their backs constantly.
