    Unpopular opinion: internet discourse would be slightly more civil if people’s real names were attached to their Internet Hot Takes.

    But yeah, have fun enforcing that, Nikki.

      Let’s say that you’re right. Everyone’s words are now connected to their identities. Instead of expressing themselves openly, people now censor themselves because they’re afraid of how their family will react when they talk about wanting to transition, they’re afraid of how their social activities will be judged by future employers, and they’re generally afraid to make any mistakes that might be held against them for the rest of their lives because it’s difficult to remove information from the internet once it’s there. Is this a better world? Politeness through fear and surveillance?
