Anonymous User
User metadata (e.g., "Parent of an infant in DC") decreases anonymity for anonymous posts
In the home feed, the user metadata shown alongside the poster's name decreases anonymity (and has the potential to completely remove it) for anonymous posts.
I might be misunderstanding how this metadata is created, but assuming that, for any individual user, the metadata shows up the same way across all of their posts, it would be possible to match an anonymous poster's metadata to the metadata of any of their non-anonymous posts.
This becomes less of an issue as the user base of the app grows, but would still be an issue nonetheless.

@Anonymousthanks for the feedback! I think we may have already addressed this feedback in an internal build that hasn’t been released yet because I’m not seeing the meta data on anonymous posts. What version of the app are you on?
