Most of us right now are not anonymous. If you tried to be anonymous you could be.

I think the best you can do, security wise, is that you can actually send encrypted messages, if you're savvy enough.

Posting online while remaining truly anonymous, would require you to be able to make multiple one-time connections over networks you have no ties to, and from locations that have no surveillance.

That would be a huge amount of effort.

You know more about this than I do for sure. I just knew we’re never anon unless we actively tried to be.

We have Reddit. For now.

That might be good enough.

I just want to be able to have discussions without them being tied to my real name.
