What stops you from being anonymous and truly yourself in small subreddits and Discord channels?

I'm frequent visitor of politically incorrect ostracized subreddits (usually following same scenario when the sub grows to big ending being quarantined/banned because it doesn't comply with leftist woke Reddit ideology), I'm anonymous and I can speak my mind usually in majority of people who have no problem with that.

I just did a Show HN for an anonymous public chat social site in dev https://sqwok.im

I would suggest some of the decentralized (non-corporate owned) social platforms like Matrix, Scuttlebutt, Mastodon, Gemini, Hypercore (DAT/Beaker Browser).

+1 for Matrix and Mastodon, might wanna check out Libera too. IRC is never coming back in the way we remembered it, but there's still plenty of online communities that are living out their individual Eternal Septembers.
