There are plenty of platforms that have real-name policies, such as facebook and nextdoor. Are these 100x healthier then platforms like HN, which allow pseudonyms? I don't know. At any rate, the important thing is that people get to choose.
If you want to interact with people trusting that they can be held accountable for bad behaviour, you can do that on these platforms.
If you want to interact with people free to express themselves without fear of getting "held accountable" for "bad behaviour" - knowing that there is some disagreement on what constitutes bad behaviour and not trusting everyone who's able to "hold people accountable" - to get them fired - to share your views on this, you can do that on platforms like this one.
