  Can I create a blog where people can comment without revealing who they are, and read other comments? Such as for a blog for people to comment about work conditions without fear management will be able to pick them off for being publicly truthful?

  Hello,

  User can comment anonymously. Please try disabling these options:

  Comment author must fill out name and email
  Users must be registered and logged in to comment

  Which needs user information while commenting.

  Here is the document which can guide you through more display options:

  Hope this helps!
  Thanks,

  Hello, You didn’t mention whether your site is hosted here on WordPressdotcom or is using the standalone WordPress software.

  Regardless, just be aware that by allowing anonymous commenting, your WordPressdotcom website may be more vulnerable to spam. In addition to disabling the above discussion settings, you may also wish to enable comment moderation. Here’s more information on that https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#before-a-comment-appears
