Facebook groups: anonymous posting

-Removed-

I did think this through. As I have stated several times, thumbs are the equivalent of mumbling "hear, hear" or "rubbish" from the back benches and therefore clearly refer to content which was not anonymous, but without adding any new content.

Posting new content anonymously is different.

EDIT:

An analogy:

If a candidate puts himself up for election and offers campaign promises or a platform, I want to know who he is. Anonymous candidates are not conducive to making informed decisions. However, when it comes to election day, the ballots are secret and rightly so; my neighbors have no business knowing whether I voted for candidate x or y. I may tell them if I wish, but voter anonymity is part of what makes democracy work. Thumbs are analogous to the secret ballot, voting 'yeah' or 'nay' to someone else's content; putting out one's own content is analogous to some candidate's platform, and should not be anonymous.

Thumbs are not posting, regardless of your proclivity of demonizing them because you get so many red ones. Try taking responsibility for the tripe you post non-anonymously.

You don't even take responsibility for your own public abrasive posting style. How can you be taken seriously when you complain about anonymity?

Are you opposed to "public abrasive posting styles", Suzianne? If so, can people here see that opposition demonstrated in the way you yourself post?

You already explained it perfectly well and yet you get told that you hadn't thought through, told your thinking is odd...

Don't feed the trolls said he feeding the trolls. 🤷‍♂️

I am not nor have I ever been on Facebook.
Some chess clubs I play against have a FB page and broadcast games on FB.
Occasionally I will get my wife to log into hers so I can look at these.

I am on facebook and use it to facetime my family in Oz for free and keep in touch with my son in Northampton.....and to stir and muddy the waters.

This can be done very easily using WhatsApp: just have a family group or subgroups, free video calls, free phone calls, share photos etc. WhatsApp can be used on a laptop or PC too.
