Definitely a point we’re constantly evaluating and feedback is appreciated. We think that by bringing some identity into the app there can be more useful interactions and bad behavior self-policed. We’re working off an assumption that people are, on the whole, pretty awesome, and we shouldn’t fall back on anonymous as the only way to engage seriously in the public sphere. What do you think? Would you add other social logins? Twitter?

> ...we shouldn’t fall back on anonymous as the only way to engage seriously in the public sphere. I don't think anyone is saying that anonymous should be the only way but it should be an option. It's not really a public space if you can't be anonymous.

  Unless you are wearing a mask every time you go out in public. You're not anonymous. Whether or not you wear a mask does not change a space from being public or not public.

I think facebook is fine. Most people have it and it makes it super simple to login and have your profile already setup.

  Facebook and another option is fine. Otherwise, I mean off the top of my head you're killing off a potential 1.4 million that left FB in Decemeber of 2013 alone.

I really don't think the Facebook login is a barrier. Most people have it, and your audience is probably not privacy-anxious hackers but rather happy-go-lucky social media users. I wouldn't bother too much about it. Adding other social logins, though, would be a good idea. And Github is now an id provider, so why not integrate that? Surely the startup community would feel less blocked by this :)

I don't use social networks, they're lame. I use e-mail. I suppose I could use Google, but it's an inactive account if you're looking for some kind of social aspect on purpose.
