Support anonymous comments

See original GitHub issue

I think we can leverage getAppAccessToken() to post comments as the bot, allowing visitors to leave comments without signing in. Maybe we should also add a signature like

Anonymous wrote:

at the beginning of the posted comment, to indicate that it was made by an anonymous user (not the bot itself).

The thing is, we shouldn’t pass the token directly to the client, because that would let users misuse the token to act as the bot. We need to create a new API route for addDiscussionComment and addDiscussionReply, and that’s not something I’m really keen on.

Also, I’m not sure how/where the sign in buttons should be placed…

Edit: Also mentioned below: anonymity and comments tend to not go well together. If implemented, this should be an opt-in feature.

I think that this should be a choice that website owners can make, but it shouldn’t be enabled by default.

Slightly sceptical that this is a good idea. Anonymity and comments don’t generally go well together… 🤔
