Real name and required accounts ruined this. Now, everyone is too afraid to talk. Things were better, on average, when no one knew who anyone else was.

- krapp 6y agoAfraid to talk? Have you been on social media or any political thread on HN lately? No one is afraid to speak their mind about anything. I liked the old web, but not because it was uncensored, rather because the psychos stayed in their cages. Now they're flinging their excrement everywhere.
- dkdk8283 6y agoI will be fired if my employer learns of my political beliefs. You bet your ass I’m afraid to talk.
- krapp 6y agoI hate to break it to you but your employer could always fire you if they didn't like you or your politics, real name accounts on the internet and "cancel culture" didn't change anything in that regard.
