This is why granular voluntary information disclosure will be super important in the future. A good social network should allow you to post under a different identity, while still tying-in some attributes of your other identity to the new one. For instance you could easily share your real life experience under another name, while still proving you have between 1000 and 1500 karma on another account. This fixes the problems of traditional throwaway accounts (lack of credibility). The only places I see this idea explored is in crypto(currency) projets. This is great because it will be robust and reliable, but the patterns could already easily be applied to today's centralized social networks.
