If I am worried about privacy, I should be able to obscure my identity in both groups and also among non-friends.
This means we need a toggle in your profile page:
HIDE MY IDENTITY FROM STRANGERS
Only friends can see my image, name, or profile page. This will protect you from strangers if you want to post to a group, or if you don't want to appear on the friends list of your friends profile pages.
How it will work:
Everything works the exact same way except:
HIDE_IDENTITY == TRUE
Profile page:
Image will be the default icon
Name will be "Anonymous"
Friends list will be hidden and say "Anonymous friend's list is private"
Messages or comments
Cannot tag or mention this user
Cannot see anything about this user except what he / she writes in a group message or comment.
Friends
People who are friends (and the user himself) will see an emoji lock appear after their name / user name like
"mreider š" - this will appear when they post messages, and on their profile page etc.
