In my field it's often general journal policy, not an individual choice. It's hit or miss, as it can be easy to guess who the reviewer or author is in a niche field. I personally don't go out of my way to figure out the author's affiliation, even if it can be trivial. Regarding self citations, those are usually obfuscated at the review stage. I'd say that a paper is easy to narrow down to a circle of scholars, but it might be the first paper of a research associate, a throwaway paper by a PI, or a paper that aims to engage those narrow specialists. So is a kind of smoke screen.

I actually robot-fed my kitten from day one, so they basically don't associate me with food at all, just with cuddles and reprimands.

Thank God for double blind peer reviews, warts and all.

Cool! The weight of responsibility of the spiritual guide for a community.

Yes.

I remember playing with the little black and white marbles in the logo, or am I misremembering? I have tons of fond memories of the game.

Reminds me of a scene from Don't Look Up
