Ignoring the expense and risks associated with verification, anonymity is the absence of constraints imposed by identity. Free from that particular restriction, you can create and wear whatever mask you want.

Do you think true anonymity is the good thing or is it more the separation from offline identity? I love online accounts that maintain IRL anonymity but nonetheless claim a specific online identity. Full anonymity seems to lead too often to shitposting.

Hrm, yea saying "anon" specifically may have been a poor choice of words. Mostly, I favor the separation, as well as anything that invites people to be more than one thing. I think pure anon (each post a singleton identity) has it's place but they dynamics are generally bad.

It also disassociates the content from unrelated attributes. An argument or position must stand on its own merits. Sadly, this requires more of the reader than many possess. Fact checking, consistency checks, and seeing logical errors: both fallacies and unfounded conclusions.
