I am the creator of Dmtri.com. It's a place where you can share thoughts anonymously whether you are signed up or not. Even when you sign up you have a choice to write anonymously to keep track of your writing.
Anonymity online is really important to me and I want to learn more about how to achieve that. As a rule of thumb, I use Tor when I browse. What other things can people do to hide their trace online?
If you are working on such a site, I hope several things.
1) That the user name you're using here is randomly generated
2) You used domain registration authorities that consider secrecy imperative. Even with that, you used single-use credit cards or the like, and didn't use your real name.
3) You always browse everything in whatever your browser's privacy mode is. It doesn't solve everything, but its another layer.
4) Do not have java or flash installed, it can expose you more and leak data.
5) Finally, really do not go to sites like this and ask questions like this without having a burner account set up. If you have to ask these questions, log in from a location you will never visit again. Use a tool like the trashmail extension to use one-of accounts (https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/trashmailnet/)
Thank you for the input. I tried to be more anonymous before, but I noticed myself dropping hints here and there. I guess that make is already too difficult. But I guess it doesn't hurt to try.
