    If you want to turn this into 4chan, maybe

    But why? I don't really see the need for that.

    @Vonubrog so that my boss doesn't see it? Or I should not use my name to login.

    All my posts are anonymous.

    Honestly, we've considered adding this. It wouldn't be completely anonymous. It would be where you still need an account, but can check off a box or something to make a specific rant anonymous. We've held off though for various reasons.

    And yeah, there's nothing stopping anyone from having an alternate account, just like Reddit, if they don't want to have a certain post tied to their main account.

    @navi if you think your boss may see your posts you probably shouldn't use your real name. There are tons of downsides to anonymous posts. Mostly lack of accountability - if people think there are no repercussions to the shit they say what's to stop them from making this a hostile environment.

    You only need a few bad apples to ruin the bunch

    @dfox is it possible to stay logged in with 2 accounts and switch when you want easily?

    @xroad I agree with you, may be it's time to change names, but usually colleagues are also on devrant and they would still know who it is.
    I would not post anything harmful for company but ranting about boss's code needs anonymity if he doesn't take it well.

    @navi that's a pretty fringe case bro. If people had to accommodate every scenario you'd end up with a pretty bloated app

    @xroad they don't have to, I just gave my two cents. Obviously they would do it based on what community wants the most.
