    I… I’m not sure? I feel like it does introduce a bit of bias. The anonymity helps to add some blindness on upvoting comments. For example, I doubt a girl with their name intact would post openly about how to go about having an abortion in a red state.

      people who post on social media with female sounding names are also subject to regular, random abuse from strangers, especially if they become even a tiny bit prominent.
