A large amount of moderation problems could very easily be solved by a standard KYC process. You can sign up and view content without it, but as soon as you want to post, you need to submit a driver's license or passport. Sure, it's a pain but the benefit is people will become A LOT better behaved. I don't think this is necessary for small community platforms but for something like X/Bluesky/etc it is needed. It is absolutely beyond me why these platforms aren't enforcing stronger measures like this.

- cibyr 2y agoFacebook has infamously failed to solve their moderation problems with their real name policy - why do you think it would work any better for bsky?
