Even though I have long ago given up imageboards, this is basically what I came to say. If you think the problem of self censorship due to judgement is the problem, publish anonymously and go hog wild.<p>I would much rather we have an anonymous set of opinions (because to be quite honest, I will never meet most of you, or be able to connect on a personal level, even if you are awesome) than a people looking to appeal to the crowd.<p>Unfortunately on 4chan et all this ends up making certain ideas the same as an established figure, ideas(memes in this community) which propagate whether or not they are good, just because they are established.
