Have you lived in an oppressed country ? Have you been oppressed ? I'm guessing its a big No. For every Snowden and Assange, there are thousands out there in detention camps and prisons all over the world who have been there for years for saying something their govt didn't like. Welcome to reality

If you’re a gay person in Uganda, it’s pretty clear you shouldn’t be posting your real thoughts under your real name. That’s not the case for 80 percent of the people here with nyms though to whom the post is obviously addressed.
You are welcome to make a hybrid client that requires email and enforced real names and ask people to use it. If people agree with your take, maybe they will.
There are many good reasons to use nyms. If you don’t agree, that’s fine.
You obviously didn’t read the post:
Short term benefits and medium-term risks aside, I’m generally against the practice, though I wouldn’t go so far as to require platforms to KYC (Know Your Customer), and obviously doxxing people, barring proof they’ve committed a crime (a real one, not a thought crime) is wrong. In other words, I think it should be legal, but discouraged.
Could disagree more. Too lazy to respond. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, however disagreeable. Maybe others agree.
I like your profile pic. Very descriptive..🫂😊
