Hi medial team, [Feature Request / UX Improvement] 1) Can you please add option to switch for being anonymous or real account in settings menu? It is soooooo frustrating to switch to anonymous every time we comment on a post. 😭 Possible Solution, -

1. We are working on it. The issue is setting that option can ruin discovery for new users. We encourage people to post non anonymously as much as possible so that other users can discover your profile. 2. There is no way for us to know who made an anonymous post. Showing anon posts in your feed basically defeats the purpose of anonymity. 3. Editing is not allowed to ensure you can't edit and change the content of your post completely. This helps us remove hate speech or block spam or useless advertising

Thanks. For point, 1) Simple solution, So, in current desin, Just don't change the state of the profile (anon or non-anon) for entire app ( means no need to switch back and forth every time to post or to comment 😁) unless user switch it. ( This approach will solve both problems 🙂 ) 2) But, then how Am I getting the notification in my anon posts when someone liked it or commented if you're not able to know? 🤔 (Hummmm, chori pakadi gae ..!!!😂) For you're concern, Simple solution is, just don't show my anon posts list to public in that tab..!! 3) humm, valid point. But, what about user make grammatical mistakes or spelling mistakes in post and after posting he/she realises about it? 🤔 Simple solution, just give time period after doing a post for edit. Like, after posting, user will have 30 minutes to make an edit to the post.!! After that, they can't. See, Simple solution. 🙂

Do you guys think the overuse of anonymity is making the platform look dead? How effective would a feature restricting the use of anonymity be? For example, limiting users to a maximum of 2 posts and a finite number of comments (let's say 10) anonym
