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.

Well Chris, I hope you get to know the world better. 80% of the world are screwed.

not relevant to the post which is that most of the people here are not nearly as screwed as they pretend to be. They’re just fearful.

Ah yes, please do tell us who needs nyms and who does not. Should I also put my home address in the profile page next to my real name?

Strawman harder!

please post all personal details, be brave, help us all stand up
