Semi-anonymous - yes, thanks for the distinction, bub, it’s a big one and I meant anonymity in that sense.
Wyze knows who I am and we co-own “my” content here, if I’m reading the terms of use correctly. (I’m not sure that I even have the right to say “expunge every trace of me from this board.” They could keep it or delete it at their discretion, I think.)
Total anonymity, masked by Tor or whatever, is something I have no experience with and is quite a different beast, I’m sure. A much “sharper” double-edge to that.
“My reluctance to say it was profound. It was somehow too true.”
That’s the level of communication that may develop over time in a small semi-anonymous group that formed by chance. When the members have highly disparate class, economic, educational and experiential backgrounds and are honorable men in common, that can result in some good fun, some “serious play,” revelations definitely worth fighting for. 
Back on the topic of multiple platforms where sometimes the content seems purposefully discrete (by Wyze’s design), consider these examples:
That one is just a reddit topic parallel to the Wyze forum topic from which I linked it, and, other than reinforcing the experiences being expressed by members here, it contains some specific info about a major firmware rebuild that doesn’t appear here.
This one is so specific to the topic, it IS funny. Yet no staff (one of whom appears in the podcast AND the forum topic) no moderator or maven, no member, linked it. It’s possible no one (with the exception of Austin who appeared in it) even knew of it - I don’t know.
