It was mentioned years ago and will be re-emphasized here, due to late developments with the kernel, that wordpress.com is a free service server of a for profit organization.  Although we would never voluntarily provide any IPs or emails of discussion participants to any 3rd party, the server/wordpress.com we can not speak for.  They certainly obtain IPs and possibly other data, especially in recent years when they added a ton of google bots and scripts to their “funked’ up sites.  Possibly wordpress doesn’t have to do the dirty work, it is done by their guests.

In the eve (or is it the day after) of US/EU/Israel instigated World War 3 diaspora may be a safer bet for security and anonymity, using no external corporate bots, and running on a federated decentralized autonomous server model (like mastodon and others) but with freedom on size of text published and minimal subscription information provided.  You choose your server, we propose the tag #sysdfree is used, the topic or the article in need of discussion, and move the discussion there.

https://diaspora-fr.org/tags/sysdfree

Is a server but you can register and see #sysdfree content from other diaspora servers

See you there
