Hot take: if every account was identifiable as a real human, this site would be far less of a cesspool.

I wish this were true for me, but at least you know who to direct your anger at when I say dumb things 🤣

I’d welcome this for sure. If you speak in a real town square, people know who you are. That said a lot of anons are hilarious. Maybe X needs a semi-ringfenced anon shitposting arena

Is Facebook less of a cesspool?

Replying to @the_transit_guy
this is the age old question of total anonymity on the internet vs total surveillance state again though. tbh total surveillance would probably just lead to cesspool activity monopolized by those in power

There is no financial incentive to do that, we’d have to identify and then they’d monetize bot farms to have that instead, more capital for them - less privacy for us.

Facebook is an even bigger cesspool and they require ID to set up an account.

But we are also Ed Nortons, we know how to avoid the rats in the sewers. But, as I also live in a different city, this comment does not criticize the raccoon supremacy.

You mean like Nextdoor where all the moderators are secret political sidekicks of one party or the other.
