If I came as anon and reply to you a specific thing, then somebody else come also as anon and reply to you with another POV, then what is the point in having POV as anon ? Will be a mess, nobody understands nothing and MOST important - manipulators could do their game, spreading all around lies, FUD, misinformation etc

Do not think that we do not have infiltrators on SN...

lol, already any post or reply from @anon is most likely a different person. Again, this PR doesn't change that. It makes it easier yes, because the UX around @anon currently sucks. I want to see more hot takes from @anon. Some things just need to be said.

then what is the point in having POV as anon

That you're anon

I think this PR is mostly for you and other SN devs. Is understandable and I have nothing against. What I was trying to say is that now more spammers saw this and will try to take advantage of it... a pandora's box. We will see.

I don't see how this leads to more spam

I don't think people were hold back by not being able to switch nyms or to @anon easily.

Plz Darth me dumb, plz help

Ok now I am just messing around :)

We could make a conditional prediction market out of this!

But we currently can't even make a normal prediction market, so... Fun times ahead!

You are making spammers life easier, with posting this on SN, publicly. You were better keeping this feature only for SN devs or at least for other accounts that you know them and they are using it for specific tasks (posting jobs, ads etc) and also having personal nyms. That is totally understandable and useful, no doubt.
