Enabled anonymous mode

It’s an assumption of mine that some members of the community may avoid posting opinions/thoughts/concerns/feelings for various personal reasons i.e. protecting their personal/Pillar brand, lack of technical knowledge, political etc.

I believe it would be a healthy experiment to see if enabling anonymous posting mode could help with such concerns. Discourse has an option for anonymous mode which has been enabled: Enable and configure anonymous mode - admins - Discourse Meta

To enter anonymous mode:

Good reminder for the community that these privileges can be removed as quickly as they were added. Let’s use them for the right reasons.
