Anonymity and Online Communities

Disqus is well known as a provider for web comments. But what we’re passionate about — and what we work on everyday — is understanding what makes online communities tick.

Anonymity in these communities (and comment threads) is a popular debate that comes up every once in a while. It’s a topic that’s been thoroughly discussed, but I’m glad that it continues to be a topic that people care about.

I had a chance to share my thoughts on why anonymity isn’t the problem with web comments, posted on Wired.com. Check out the post and share your thoughts right here in the comments.
