That is not possible though. You cannot refrain from being judged and if you are honest you are also judging others. This is true for clothing and much more so

That is not possible though. You cannot refrain from being judged and if you are honest you are also judging others. This is true for clothing and much more so for more intimate proclivities. Also, a certain amount of inhibition might be quite healthy.
Additionally I don't want to share even trivial stuff like interest in music or movies with everyone. If I do, it is on my own terms. I don't want to share who is in my social circle either. My social media presence is highly curated and shallow for professional reasons (although by being shallow it doesn't contrast other online presences too much).
I hide stuff and that is completely fine and something I want to do. If people are interested, they can ask me.
Anonymity isn't just a band-aid here, it is a tool and I value it quite highly. Nothing to do with equality or advancing rights.
- shafoshaf 3y agoI think your version of anonymity is more to what I'd call privacy. There is no reason anyone even needs to know that you have a playlist, much less what is on it. Anonymity would be you posting your playlist of songs with the theme of Down with Martians (or other group) without anyone knowing it was you. I don't necessarily think we have to have that ability to allow people to do that.
