You're mixing up anonymity and pseudonymity.

Just create a new throwaway account each time.

This used to be a lot easier. Now reddit doesn't let you create an account without an email (and most burner email tools are blocked like https://www.mailinator.com/.

You're on a site where at least half the commenters are anonymous, and evidently the discussion level here is good enough for you to stay. Conversely, Facebook is not any less cancerous because they have a real name policy. So no, I'd say the least N years have not shown that.

I think the most important aspect of a community is its members. Reddit, Facebook, etc have all tried hard to grow their communities and have reduced the quality of them as they increased the headcount. The best communities don’t strive for the hockey stick growth.

Reddit and Facebook are not a single community, they are many communities some of which have a very high bar for quality, and some of which are a free for all that tends toward low quality memes and trolling.

Almost every single action signs me out. Creating a sub gives back an 'invalid' error message', which then signs me out.

Have clicked on less than 10 links and have already been exposed to bestiality images. This post in question has been up for half an hour, where is the moderation?

Actually it does. Just hit "next" when it prompts for an email. I just created another account 30 seconds ago, no email required.

They are employing a dark pattern to make it seem that way, but it isn't so. You can just click "next" without actually entering an email. But there is no indication that the field is optional.

Hasn't the past 20 years shown that anonymous posts and comments are a perfect breeding ground for trolls?

Psuedonymous, not anonymous.

I think this "reddit-with-4chan-features" approach is more viable than 8chan's "4chan-with-reddit-features" approach, since I don't think the imageboard model is very compatible with the "community-run boards" feature. It's also a good thing that (it appears that) this website is "fresh" and apolitical rather than coming forth from a political rift in another community (e.g. 8chan, gab, voat).
