HN doesn’t require any real verification, not that there are any good verification solutions out there the “best” rely on mobile numbers which are both easily spoofed and also can lock you out sometimes as numbers do get reused.
I am far less likely to use a site that requires me to verify my identity than not, unless they provide a substantial service they don’t need to know who I am.
- koheripbal 6y agoI will echo that I will absolutely never use my REAL identity publicly online for anything. It only takes ONE lawsuit/stalker/arrest/accusation/divorce/etc... for people to learn this lesson. Privacy is worth WAY more than comment/post/tweet visibility.
- marketingPro 6y agoWhy do you think HN is better than Facebook? It's definitely not more reliable. There's less mods, so there is high risks of disinformation.
