Is it just me or does this (the push for removing online anonymity) feel like part of a bigger move to push people into further insulated groups and prevent social cohesion?

I've not really ever had any cohesion on the platforms I use anonymously anyway. I just like having places to talk about shit without any judgement that would be linked to my identity. Gonna miss that if this shit takes off but going outside more will probably do me some good.
