> Imagine how much better the discussion would be on sites like Reddit if the default was Real Identity and some sections were anonymous. You mean how uninteresting, fake and boring reddit would have been and is starting to become because of censorship? Do you think lgbt or atheist or porn subs or joke subs any other subreddits would exist without anonymity? > The return of commment sections on major news articles (the shit show or sexist racist trolls would stop almost immediately if you faced real life consequences). Perhaps sexist or racist comments may decline - I highly doubt it. But so would every other type of comments - including lgbt, atheism, anti-drugs, anti-corruption, etc. Sexism and racism existed long before reddit and the internet and will exist long after reddit. > I wonder if there is a market for a verified Online Real Identity service that could be used to solve some of these cancerous corners of the internet that comes with anonymity. If you don't like, then don't visit it? Who decides what's cancerous? You? The chinese government? You think only things you dislike will be censored. More than likely, it won't but the things you agree with will be censored. Honestly, what's next? Lets start burning books and get rid of libraries because they have bad words? If you don't like anonymous forums, why don't you just make one of your own with verified identities? See how interesting that is?
