On that theory, maybe not show the username at all, just a link to the profile?
I’d be curious whether people here would like more/less awareness of usernames. I suppose I’ll find out if my comments on it get any reactions.
But if youre having a conversation with someone who's raising points over multiple comments it would be nice to know those points so you can argue against them, else you risk strawmanning.
Could have a thread only title or id
Is that really a problem that needs solving? Right now, you see the user name only if you want to, it works fine.
True, but then you get random character strings.
It's harder to keep track of diYsj5;£ and diYaba36£- versus benj111 and ctack.
I suppose the current model follows the way actual human discourse works. We can identify people but they don't have a karma score over their head. Annonymising everything would be breaking that. It might work sure. But it feels like changing something that already works.
