As someone who also takes privacy seriously, I can see from your point of view, as a dev, in how this could be detrimental to the those who prefer to use #cornychat for its privacy-preserving & anonymity user experience.
Though I appreciate you for taking the time to see the barriers from my point of view & considered the options, despite the unfortunate outcome. This was a far better customer service experience (in receiving a direct answer) than I would have gotten elsewhere.
