    On the one hand, I understand the inherent limitations of pseudonymous social media and why a corporation and even end users might benefit from authoritative user identification.

    On the other hand, oh hell no.

      I mean, there’s someone here who has (not even exaggerating) 15+ accounts that they just rotate thru.

      It’s a hassle to block them all because I still see new ones, but I’ll take that over “proving myself” as a unique person with something like this.

      I don’t think psudonyms are an issue, but verifying that a user is an actual person vs an AI chatbot is absolutely something that every popular social media platform will need to tackle at some point.
