Being anonymous isn’t incompatible with helping people

You’re missing the point I’ve made completely.

Do people create mods for games or create open source software solely for recognition?

They can’t gain recognition, uploading anonymously. But if someone purely wants the crack for the game to exist they could do it

I don’t buy this. It’s easy to upload files anonymously.

I agree. If they’re used solely as any other public forum. The problem is it supports the ecosystem of these platforms’ faux private chats. Also if you have to create an account to view a public chat why not make it encrypted all the way? Matrix.org supports encrypted rooms.

It’s also ridiculous that you have to give a phone number to use any “type of public forum”, telegram.

Telegram is no more secure than any other for-profit platform it claims to be an alternative to.
