Is the idea of 4chan's anonymity dying?

Seems like as time goes on, less and less people actually like the fact that each post on 4chan is anonymous.

>they just changed the flags on /pol/; most of the userbase hates it and wants to be able to identify the posters' country again
>on every meta thread on /v/, the most popular suggestions are flags and IDs
>on most meta threads on most boards in fact, the most popular suggestion is IDs

I don't really get it. To me 4chan's anonymity has always been a really beautiful thing, where each post totally stands on its own, and I don't understand why people want to lessen that. What are your thoughts?

/b/ is the best board
the flags on /pol/ never mattered, they just generate bantz
>>
Country based bants is just too funny. You didn't really shitpost if you didn't bully and indian into using the toilet.
>>
if someone insists in not being anonymous it means hes a normie faggot from reddit and wants to use ad hominems in the argument like your country flag or point out your posts by the name

flags are just for banter, the new(actually old) flag selection encourages alot of falseflag shitposting
thread ids aren't terrible since it helps prevent same faggotry although i don't think they're necessary for anything outside /pol/

I agree that flags ruin anonymity on most boards (I liked the previous /pol/ flag system though), but thread IDs are literally just to stop samefag trolling and shitposting. I wouldn't want them everywhere though, just places where there's tons of circlejerking and funposting already, like /v/.

That's a side effect of anonymity and it's getting destroyed. This is bad for the site. It's turning into BadReddit

Well look at this board, lol.
Half the people on this board want to add each other on steam or discord or some shit. There's rate threads up a lot of the time like I'm browsing /soc/. Tripfags and their orbiters everywhere, etc.
Sometimes I wish this board wasn't so fucking awful.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
