some of the most interesting content on reddit is often from throwaway or pseudonym accounts which are essentially “anon” to all other users: - advice posts for sensitive situations or most ask men/women posts, like what’s the best thing your ex did in bed - AITAH - NoStupidQuestions - confessions this content digs at the complexity of human nature, often with unfiltered, authentic perspectives, that appeals to millions of users. this type of content on the anon accounts doesn’t get good engagement (and none seems to have graduated to the X account), perhaps due to public likes or the flat nature of reply threads where it seems like only one person is conversing. instead, the majority of content that breaks through is the same content that’d break through without anon accounts: memes, shills, and dunks. and because anon is still relatively small, the breakthrough content risks reading as in-group. excited to watch these projects continue to iterate because i see it as a big, big opportunity.

I agree with your take @ted. As a longtime former Reddit user, I very much valued and enjoyed the candid long form confessions but also debates that anonymity unlocked there. I suspect Farcaster started out as mostly doxxed accounts because it was largely an IRL in-group of loosely related individuals from within the same industry and geography. But over time the network needs its healthy share of anon users who don’t feel the need to maintain a certain mainstream public persona and who can push the boundaries of discourse

Part of the outbreak to X most likely stems what already is popular here so that’s why it works. We don’t have much outside crypto so that content doesn’t go hard especially in Mania that we‘re in right now. What I am wondering is if one can surface these conversations better to the non mania users. I like the /uno approach by @christopher and @heavygweit of clustered users and bringing them together. Maybe anon posts could be recommended in clients based on these clusters? @sahil you may also have ideas here.
