There is one. It was used a couple comments up.

Pseudonymous. It's an actual word, not just made up.

Ah yep, I glossed over that somehow.

My point stands, though - despite the misusage of the word anonymous there's a real difference between how facebook treats identity and how reddit does. And it massively affects how communities in both interact.
