    I don’t get the hate. I enjoy shitting on reddit as much as the next guy, but defending their user’s right to remain anonymous in court has been one thing they’ve got a pretty solid record on.

        all facebook owned services forbid you from being anonymous on their platforms.

        Twitter still allows anonymous users and satire accounts…but paying for a checkmark reveals who and where you really are.

      Not to mention this has far reaching effects past Reddit. Such as for lemmy instances.

      Imagine how hard (impossible )it would be for them to actually moderate every interaction on their site? Standing up for users makes sense because they’re next in the firing line.
