My experience has been tradeoffs.
Real identity has those most vulnerable get more threats, the majority get less.

Well i dont see a way ever to force everyone to use their verified public Internet identity, but such a system is needed. Especially with deepfakes technology getting more evolved and easier to use.
Hmmm...on a different note...Getting downvoted and would enjoy hearing why if anyone cares to explain. Are you not tired too of downloading tons of apps just to pay for parking?

I am tired of my every sneeze being tracked by the rest of the world. It is dystopia.
P.S. I do not downvote any posts no matter what.

cool and thanks, but that's what Musk has said he wants to do and just sharing some thoughts/ideas around that.
You don't have to use it, but many others who desire a simplest user experience for X will and that's a money maker I believe. A way to reap his investment and then some.
From what I've seen, non-anonymity doesn't do much to reduce the vitriol of online discussion. What it probably has a larger impact on is on potentially persecuted minorities (say, trans people), where non-anonymity makes it easier to threaten them in real life.
