    it used to be just for nice social bubbles

    now it’s for political disinformation bubbles and the two cannot be untangled. users will not do it voluntarily

    real identities and moderation in the form of fact checking are the only way on all social media

      It’s such a modern problem, clearly we need some new solutions. Maybe verified, none anonymous social media is at least part of that solution.

      I’m not saying that all social media should be verified accounts. But if everything becomes bots run by EvilCorp, then there’s nothing left for the rest of us.

      As far as I know there’s nothing about the Fediverse that protects us from EvilCorps bots

      Id’ing everyone to what they say on social media is not the “only way,” it’s the path to ruin. Have fun with your palantir crafted social score being used against you pal. Such a shit take, no wonder we are where we are. And you are railing against propaganda too, the irony.

        Yeah anonymity and pseudonymity have been stolen from us IRL in a lot of cases and we shouldn’t cede them online. We should also take them back irl. Go lie about who you are to someone you meet.
