It's anonymous in that there are no user accounts. They keep track of IP addresses of course, but between users there's no way to distinguish others unless they want to be distinguished. This is unlike the Fediverse, which very much assumes user accounts for most messages. In theory you could submit messages as a system actor (you'd probably show up as a bot elsewhere) but there's no platform that does that as far as I know.
Something like this can be built, relatively easily probably, but I don't expect many other systems to interact with such software well.
