Is an anon mode helpful for Cosmos?

Conversation Governance Meta

I have been researching how DAOs make decisions and I am curious about anonymity. Since this feature is possible on discourse and is easy to enable:

  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.

What would be the purpose of anonymity? Doens’t things like reputation matter?

Reputation and anonymity are not antonyms and have no reason to be

I agree with that, but then there has to be a gatekeeper for the source of provenance or the protocol is prone to being gamed.
