> Opinions now come in seven forms — hot take, confession, question, pick a side, prediction, story time and debate — each with its own sides. And you can post one anonymously.

**Take a side** on the post screen is now **Weigh in**, and it does more.

## Seven forms

Pick what you're posting, and the three sides people choose from are worded to fit:

- **Hot Take** — Agree · Not sure · Disagree
- **Confession** — Same · No judgement · Not me
- **Question** — Yes · Maybe · No
- **Pick a Side** — With it · On the fence · Against it
- **Prediction** — Will happen · Not sure · Won't happen
- **Story Time** — Believe it · Hmm · No way
- **Debate** — For · Undecided · Against

You can still rename the sides yourself, and now the names you give them are kept.

## Anonymously

Switch on **Post anonymously** and the post goes out with a mask and the name **Anonymous** — no photo, no profile. You still see it's yours, still hear about replies, and can still edit or delete it. It can still be reported like any other post.
