Wait, so these anonymous comments are not visible to anyone that doesn't have the extension? That's severely limiting the troll market there if so.

Ya, you have to have the extension to see the comments. There are about 6 plums, 1 corn, 2 tomatoes, 1 beet, 1 raspberry and 1 cherry commenting on this post right now..

So, basically, not anonymous, and not really actually even there. F...T...W?

I didn't drop out of TechCrunch comments because of the lack of anonymity, I dropped out because Facebook comments tech is such a big step backward from Disqus.

I still read the posts, but the conversations have moved on. Fred Wilson is right.

A friend of mine made me a facebook for my dog as a joke. I am the fluffiest troll ever!

*woof*

Do you have to post as a fruit? After all, most comments are from fruitcakes.

Thanks for sharing this with all of us. Every girl has her most beautiful moment in the life just when you wear your own

I preferred the underground comment system Why the Lucky Stiff created. Iirc you had to hack your /etc/hosts file to map -.---.- to an ip address and install a userscript to see the comments and you had to nominate websites to be included in the system.

Hardly anyone ever used it due to the Byzantine requirements, but I don't remember a single troll.

it's not 100% anonymous. If you deface/comment on a photo it shows up on the person's notifications.

Elvis Thomas · Davv indore
It's not like that, Defaceable not stored any personal details of defaced users so it's not shows up on the person's notifications.

Spammers Playground, hope not!

Taking a page from LAL, more fruit is good for the Internet.

Cigar Law · Partner/Owner at H New Media
the notifications identify you.

Chris Lozeau · IT Technician at Dovelands Primary School
What notifications?

Rohith Raj · GITAM University
Why isn't there a like button for fruits? Hate the discrimination against fruits :(

Scott Yates · Top Commenter · CEO at BlogMutt

The change to FB comments has been great for eliminating the trolls, but worse because of the lack of nested comments. Now it will just be worse on top of worse.

Tundey Akinsanya · Top Commenter · George Mason
"...your irrational hatred of a certain author..." oh please. Just say "irrational hatred of MG Seigler" We all know it's him.

Amit Shaked · Top Commenter
Hmmm... installed teh add-on but I still can't see how I switch from my facebook ID to a fruit.


Dave Strauss · Top Commenter · Toronto, Ontario
Can someone please invent a Chrome extension called re-faceable to expose all the trolls?


Jennifer Tucker · Top Commenter · Clovis, California
No it's cool, spam gets even better posted by variations of fruit...


Amarendra Kumar · Top Commenter · National Institute of Technology Patna
Any such thing for Firefox?


Anka Baik · Jakarta, Indonesia

Brisborne Flowers · Truman State University
But will it blend?
