Why not go the other way, and make all social broadcasts be anonymous? Then we would talk about policies instead of personalities. It just becomes ideas and thoughts in the cloud.

- travisgriggs 5y agoHas the internet degraded along these lines over the years? In the beginning, largely unknown (essentially anonymous) people discussed technical things. The net felt like a cool place. I was enlightened by it. And then as more people showed up, news outlets pivoted more and more to keep us up to date with what was happening via the internet. Families took to keeping family blogs to share news with each other. Now days, it's largely a platform to build and promote cult personalities.
