I have been researching how DAOs make decisions and I am curious about **anonymity**. Since this feature is possible on [discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/use-anonymous-mode-to-reply-or-create-topics/240039) and is [easy to enable](https://meta.discourse.org/t/enable-and-configure-anonymous-mode/155638):

1. Have we considered enabling it here
2. If yes, why, if not, why not?

My thesis is that optional anonymity would allow users to communicate candidly without needing to create a throwaway account, and would love your feedback on this.

Hello @skyfoxx,

I appreciate your thought however I am not for this because I believe in accountability in what we say and do whether it be IRL or in Web3. I have said things that I definitely regret but I take ownership and don’t want the option to hide behind a shield. I also prefer to communicate with someone who is known and also communicates candidly even if I don’t like what they have to say. It just creates a sense of openness and honestly.
