P2P and anonymity are orthogonal concerns. Maybe I want to peer-wise distribute content to well-known friends of mine, to whom I am well-known. Alternatively, perhaps I want to contribute an anonymous voice to a globally centralized conversation?
There is even a third element which is missed by this false dichotomy, which is that "blanket anonymity" is not the same as "managing how much of my identity I want to reveal".
Without the latter, you actually end up with a digital commons whose social dynamics asymptotically approach the chans or Youtube comments.
