( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Does Anonymity really improve discourse? https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1716535805 2024-05-24T07:30:05+00:00 2024-10-30T22:38:09+00:00 By anonymity, I really mean anonymity -- not pseudonymous communities<br><br>Anonymity lowers the barrier to entry... for people who prefer <br>anonymous communities. But a lot of people who want to invest a lot of<br>real energy into a community, people who want to put work into serious<br>projects, are not going to prioritize an imageboard over something <br>like Discord or Twitter. <br><br>The main purpose of imageboards is to give a toilet to the internet.<br>Need to blow off steam? Vent? Post a dick pic? Get involved in petty<br>debates? Or are you such a brain damaged person that you get banned<br>from "mainstream" internet constantly -- you're the target audience<br>for 4chan. <br><br>Textboards and Gikopoi seem to have less tendency to go to complete<br>ass than imageboards, so anonymity does not automatically imply shit.<br>But this may just be due to the fact that these communities are very<br>small -- and they have less bias against pseudonymity than imageboards<br>As a counter-example, look at Sageru IRC for something that's generally<br>lower quality than /b/, /soc/, /pol/ etc <br><br>On places like IRC, Gikopoi, Mastodon, and other low-barrier pseudonymous<br>communities, mentally ill people and naughty children are easily blocked,<br>which creates a negative feedback loop that incentivizes the posters to<br>either shape up or get out. On the other hand, with an imageboard, when <br>trolling, someone can flame himself in the comments to keep himself in the<br>spotlight -- an anti-feature. <br><br>So my basic opinion is that anonymous and pseudonymous communities are<br>essentially equally good when small, and that as communities scale,<br>anonymous communities fare worse. This makes me think that gatekeeping<br>is actually not a bad thing. I can't imagine that Something Awful would<br>have done well without the $10 account registration fee, and something<br>like Reddit wouldn't work without karma. Anonymous communities have no<br>means by which to gatekeep, which is ultimately to their detriment <br><br>What do you think?
