It’s worked out well on Facebook. People are more civil there, right?

Especially Nextdoor.

First we need to make all private communications of public officials public. Especially weasel like this ex BlackRock chairman

Pfft ridiculous, there's very little verification of "real names" in meat space, so why should it be replicated on the internet? Does this fuck knuckle walk around demanding everyone he meets whip out a drivers license to prove who they are before he talks to them?

These guys are doing everything possible to throw the country in the arms of the afd just in protest to this shitty status quo of selling everyone out to technofascists.

Why? So he knows who calls him a dickhead so he can sue because we hurt his feewings awww armes häschen!

So that public opinion isn't shaped by a couple thousand social media accounts run from a troll farm in Moscow.

[–] GuyIncognito@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

I'm only comfortable having public opinion shaped by American intelligence agencies, not Russian ones, so we should all have to provide identification to post on the internet.

Stay on Facebook then. A perfect illustration of how anonymity is not what enables people to behave badly online.

But this is my real name.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Old man yells at clouds.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 6 points 2 months ago

I would never.

So they can arrest you for complaining about zionism

It's clearly a bad idea as a strict rule everywhere.

Some forums require real names, I forget if they validate, but I feel like people are more civil on those.

[–] Coldcell@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

My name... is... Neo

[–] MareOfNights@discuss.tchncs.de -3 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Based. Get these grifters and bots out of my feed.

And please prove it's your real name with a photo of your ID and a high resolution animated 3D scan of your face and rectum for validation purposes.

Everyone that uses based like that is suspect. And the government is sponsoring and paying for half of the goddamned bots pal, you can't be this ignorant?

[–] avg@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

I don't know why we don't already have a browser extension to crowd source bot information, oh and of course, sell our browsing habits.
