I would pose the question, why do you think twice before posting on YouTube? Are you only posting or wanting to post things that are shit-starting? Then it is good that you think twice. I think before posting as well, not out of concern about someone knowing who I am, but more, is what I have or want to say worth whatever reaction will come from the other posters. You are correct there are some expert shit-starters on here and honestly they do take away from the benefit of the site. They are the ones that you can point to and say, this is why we can't have nice things. But some people are just jerks. That is why I did pose ideas about guardrails for pochas, mods, and users for @dangun to consider that could provide proactive spaces for the productive exchange of ideas to take place. I absolutely agree with @dangun that anonymity is important. And how much one chooses to use is up to them. I was very vocal when FB wanted to ban users not using their real names, it created a huge limit on some people to be able to have contact with friends and families, it prevent other people from being able to communicate and get "real information". There are a lot of reasons to preserve as many options as possible for people to have anonymity online.

I think twice before posting because sometimes I'm also an idiot and my instinct is to post an angry message or whatever. Then I think to myself *"this is not how I want to portray myself to the world"*. Whether it's anonymous or not. Some people don't have that.

And that is a good way to be 🙂 and those others do not have that filter in real life either, in a lot of cases.
