Most HN accounts are pseudonymous with the occasional anonymous throw away for something specific.
HN also has great moderation (thanks DanG) and a strict set of rules which helps.
If HN was truly anonymous (everyone posted under anon accounts) I think it would decay and I’m not sure DanG would be able to save it.
I do think Urbit’s approach to this (low cost to creating an ID) is a really good one for handling this problem and the general problem of spam decentralized, and at scale.
