Canny has always stood by identity being very important when it comes to customer feedback. A vote is just one signal. There are other important factors that come into play when it comes to prioritizing feedback.
You want to know answers to questions like:

From there, your customers will see aliases for each other:

You can see a live example on our Integrations board. Full details on anonymous boards are available here.
Anonymous boards are available on the Canny Growth plan and above.
