I define anonymity as unconnected to a person’s actual identity in real life.
I haven’t finished reading it yet so sorry if I misrepresent your views or if I ask something you already addressed in it but I immediately had a question that’d be helpful in understanding the point you’re making
How do you define anonymity? Eg Is nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9acanonymous?
Anonymity is not a byproduct of social media cancel culture; pseudonymous users were the norm in Usenet and BBS days.

always jews and feds railing against anonymity
mr 'liss' anonymity is true protection of speech
ai is a double edged sword remember that when someone trains one to post as you
I think an account is always connected to an identity, Chris, it's just that it's not revealed to you, the reader.
Also, anons have skin-in-the-game, the reputation of their pseudonymous accounts. This, with the quality of the arguments and ideas expressed, should matter, not the person who makes the argument.
Are you talking strictly about a name? As in, the name that appears in your passport?
