is anonymity a lie?

I don't think we're as anonymous here as we're led to believe. Can the admins or mods see who we are by default? If you break the rules, you'll get banned. How do they know who you are if they can't see you? I'm nervous now, because I've posted some things I don't want to be associated with outside this forum 
Trump 2020

The admins can see who is posting in the anonymous forum.

I refrain some certain topics specifically because the forum isn't entirely blind. It would be more open if admins were blind to users in this sub forum and linking of the anon post to it's user was handled on the back end. Rules could still be enforced, but in an entirely blind manner. I don't write CSS, nor do I have the time to learn, so I can't say how difficult it would be to set things up in that manner.
Admins and staff can still see who said what, and everyone has an agenda. If one of them doesn't like someone else' position on a topic, they may write the name down to their personal shitlist and hound that person at every oppertunity, no matter how slight of an infraction. I've seen it happen countless times across various forums, discord servers, etc, anger someone politically and they will NEVER leave you alone. The Shroomery isn't immune to this either, so tread lightly.
There simply are no neutral platforms or parties anymore in terms of politics in this day and age. I have seen people save screen captures and quotes from years prior and dredge it up over and over until they get the result they want from it (user banned / canceled). Don't engage in political topics unless you are ready to go to war in every aspect of your life. Friends become political enemies the moment you sign the dotted line. It's literally like a game, their alignment flips from friendly to outright hostile the moment you say the wrong thing.
The nation is entirely polarized and there is no more middle ground you either pick one side or the other. I'm guessing you picked a side before knowing this and are now worried, well, take what you can from this lesson and push forward in life.

Only trendal, Shroomism, george castanza, Alan Rockefeller, yogabunny, Ballerium can see who you are here as well as admins.
I am a mod but I cannot see who any of you are as I'm not a mod here. You can probably tell who by the screenshot

The ban button is gone for all other mods. So even if you say a bunch of off the wall shit no non anonymous mod could press the ban button and find out who you are.

Bruh, if you can't bear to have a handful of mods know who you are, maybe you're being a total POS. Unless you did something illegal and bad (ie. rape, child molestation etc.) don't worry. I'm definitely left-leaning and even with the most idiotic Trump folks, I just move on. Whatever, you're foolish, cool. I'm sure the mods here have the same mentality to almost anything here. Don't worry.

Supporting the "wrong" political party, "wrong" side of a partisan issue, or even uttering some "wrong speak", are all on the same level as pedophilia, murder, and tax evasion. There is reason to be concerned in today's day and age. It doesn't matter who you support, it matters who the staff support.
As they say, "Know your barber's politics before getting a shave."

You are correct. If you want to see what the future of America has in store for us when the Dems take over (which they will), look no further. Welcome to the Cuckarchy.

If you read the forum rules and your user agreement you would know who can see your identity and under what circumstances you will be exposed. Ex: if you posted on here that you just murdered someone, burned your ex boyfriend's house down, or raped your neighbors daughter, the Shroomery would likely report the post to your local police department along with your IP information if they found any reason to believe it could be credible, if you break the forum rules you get banned or whatever, ect, ect. You're anonymous as long as you follow the rules, and the Shroomery is not served a subpoena for your username and/or IP address.
If one of the kooky mods or admins who do not agree with your politics you posted on here get a boner to harass you over your politics, well, that's just the chance you took. I personally wouldn't really care myself, but I already know that those who choose left wing or right wing politics are in reality choosing for a giant bird to shit all over them and then fly away and leave them to clean up the mess. Also I wouldn't worry too much about the mods or admins outing you, if anyone really had it in for you, you probably would have known it by now.
The short answer is that anonymity is not so much a lie as it is an illusion if you are thinking it is absolute, because like all earthly things, it comes in degrees.
