> crack down on spambots, and verify all users
This is the part that terrifies me. I enjoy my 'alt' accounts that have an anime waifu avatar and an assumed name. I don't want Twitter outing my real identity. That would ruin Twitter in a devastating way.
- justanotherhn 4y agoOuting your identity to whom? You must know that Twitter already knows about your alt accounts right? I wouldn't panic just yet, they will probably just derank unverified users in the replies of tweets so spam bots can finally die.

- maxlybbert 4y agoBut verifying users doesn’t require publishing their names on their profile page.
- addingnumbers 4y ago> You must know that Twitter already knows about your alt accounts right? As the article says, the whole miscalculation comes from Twitter counting all your alts as active even when you were only using one of them...
- postalrat 4y agoSure, just a "miscalculation". They would never want to mislead people into thinking they have more users.
