bad actors need anonymity. good actors like anonymity only because they are duped into being afraid by the bad actors.

it is my opinion that if a social media portal were established that required members to fully identify themselves, pehaps going as far as having a whatsapp video call with them would squash all of the bullshit.

never show fear to your enemies.

the current social media model only serves to turn communications into a clusterfuck for the good actors.

Well, people do lose the careers over relatively benign statements on a regular basis. It's not an empty fear. There's good reasons good people would want to avoid reprisal for saying the truth
