That was also my experience moderating a medium-sized city subreddit. Bigger problems were easily dealt with. Toxicity was a lot harder to deal with, especially when it's so easy to create a throwaway account. I quit when one user decided to target me personally, and kept evading bans to cause more grief.

All of this crap, and your reward is more complaints, more demands.

Bingo.

Why is authenticity so verboten?

If u/gonewild can manage user verification, then any one can.

Doubly so when surveillance capitalists like facebook and NSA already have (shadow) profiles for every person, living and dead.

Facebook absolutely already knows the true identity of each and every troll. Not verifying account creation is a convenient fiction, willful ignorance, allowing their outrage machine to profit. "lalala", hands over ears, "i can't hear you!"
