    So what? These are public comments. If you don’t want your comments to haunt you for a prior bad take, maybe don’t have bad takes or alternatively, explain them.

    If you’re saying you put personal information there, one layer of obfuscation wouldn’t stop someone motivated from finding information. This only stops people using profiles as intended.

      It’s not necessarily bad takes it can be someone with an obsession trawling your history for oblique personal details or whatever. may only be a deterrent to tech illiterate stalkers but better than nothing imo

        This sounds an awful lot like “think of the [irrelevant group used for leverage such as terrorists or babies]” arguments.

        This largely has not been a problem, and so to loose something much more important for it seems absurd to me.

            Opt in or out makes no difference for its affects on being able to discern where someones opinions are coming from. “Just evaluate the arguments themselves” means trolls insta-win.
