Does anonymity help or hinder social media experiences?

There are always good and bad sides to whatever we do, as is with anonymity. Social media is an unusual phenomenon, it’s where you can be your truest self as well as someone else entirely. Sometimes having the safety of anonymity can be advantageous as you can share your innermost thoughts without worrying about judgement from anyone you may or may not know. But the same mask that provides you with safety can also be used the wrong way. Since none of the repercussions of what you say can be linked directly to you, you can say whatever you want. This is most common in cases where a lot of hatred and abuse is spread online. You can say whatever you feel like without being held accountable until an investigation is done. There is no black and white here, anonymity is both a boon and a bane for social media.
