    Perhaps a) social media should not be anonymous and b) death threats should be illegal. I know I’m stating super obvious things here but given how this is still a thing…

        There’s a marked difference between being the only non-anonymous person in a group of anonymous people and being a non-anonymous person in a group of other non-anonymous people.

        In other words, no way am I even pretending to be that brave.

      a) social media should not be anonymous

      I believe anonymous social media can work but only up to a certain size. Current system opens up societies to fabricated influence campaigns by the oligarchs, domestic and foreign state agencies, all kinds of organised whackos and just regular assholes with zero accountability. Whole setup is dying from a thousand cuts and at current going rate it doesn’t have much time left.
