>In the meantime it is still very valuable to have a place where it's possible to be honest.

It's also a place where you can be completely dishonest, make up stories, be someone else with almost no repercussions. I think most people are being honest on reddit or HN, but the small percent that like to make up stories, personas, etc. makes it difficult for me to fully trust many of the comments I come across.



just because you know somebody's name, doesn't make them honest either, if it did politics would be a whole different ballgame.


It does mean that their lies can be tagged back against them.

A name, a "real name" has a certain irrevocability to it.
