My point was more that instance admins defed for things that are comparatively minor, relative to allowing anonymous posting, not that allowing anonymous posting is a good idea (even if it's technically possible).
It could always use an "anonymous" pseudo-account, (ie, have anonymous posts federate as [email protected]), or a pseudo-account per post ([email protected], anonymous2, etc). Thinking about it, the former has the advantage of being easy to block by instances or comms that don't like it.
From what I've seen 4chan seems to be able to keep at least two of those out with captcha and jannnies.
You'd probably need to limit anonymous posting to local communities to prevent issues though.

One of my favourite historical ones was the John birch society saying Lyndon B. Johnson was a communist agent, who started the Vietnam war to help communists take over the USA.
I've long thought that if politicians want to see our whatsapp messages, all politicians' whatsapp messages should be published publicly.
