Have you actually tried this with a couple of friends? I'd expect to be able to pick out who's who fairly quickly...

I do think it's a nice idea; but I would still be very careful saying anything serious on there.

Partly for that reason, we envision the site as being most useful for groups above 20 and below 200. That way you have less of a risk of identifying specific users, while still developing a sense of community and relevance.

Ah ok, that makes more sense.

Will you assign the same alias to the same user every time, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identicon? That'd allow some kind of reputation system, at the cost of making it even easier to de-anonymize users.

As of now, users do not have persistent identities. Depending on how Freeversation develops, we may eventually let users opt-in for such aliases.
