Imagine having to opt into making a post anonymous instead of being that by default

Imagine having to opt into making a post anonymous instead of being that by default (self.text)

what say you all? cc-d I know you've got a lot on your plate but how would you feel about making that the default state of posting?

Absolutely. Anonymous by default toggle coming TONIGHT, right after "explore subs" default sorting.

I like the audacity of using a username and the option to omit is icing on the top. I love following users and seeing post history, it really helps discoverability.

My take on it is that It's an easy-enough-to-opt-in option for anyone to use so it's fine.
With that said, I guess cc-d can enable a default toggle between anon and useracc for people to choose from.

Seconding what the other user says about a toggle. Right now I enjoy the hybrid with accounts being the default.

A usermode checkbox of 'anonymous by default' would be handy but I personally wouldn't use it admittedly. I want those internet points!
