In Reddit, you are pseudonymous - users do convert pseudonymity to anonymity by the usage of throwaway accounts. In case of anonymous media apps, the concept of anonymity is embedded. For example, on reddit - there can be ONLY one "Barack_Obama" on Whisper there could be thousands of them because there is no unique username. In addition, you could view profile of a pseudo-identity on Reddit. On anonymous social media, there is no profile information. The key difference between anonymous vs non-anonymous (or pseudonymous) media is lack of unique identities and/or profile information.
