A real name policy mainly hurts privacy and not much else. Those people tend to avoid platforms with effective "censorship" as they call it, and that can be done without names. The majority of internet users doesn't spend much time thinking about privacy or anonymity, and it's not uncommon that people make death threats under their real name or end their career with dumb posts on social media. What we need is smaller communities with better moderation. Twitter with its lack of structure is the opposite and acts more like a global spam folder, and discourages meaningful posts by limiting their length. Insults and other toxic language always fits nicely in a tweet.
