How do you write comments when you know you will stay anonymous? How would your writing change if a comment could be traced back to you? What if you do not know whether it’s anonymous or not? What are the consequences of writing a comment, assuming it will be anonymous, when in fact it is not? Think about this the next time you write a comment - anonymously or not.

The way we design systems and services in terms of simple features like „leaving a comment“ influences behavior. To what extent are we as users, consumers, customers and humans aware of the influence by all “designed stuff” around us?
