I agree with you on this - I love being able to speak my mind without too much thought into building social credibility by having a comprehensive history of posts. It's an unnecessary barrier to attempt to require "credibility" to be able to contribute, most people here are in tech, and the quality of discussion is honestly pretty high compared to MANY other sites.

Implementing any barriers towards communication will incentivize people to be agreeable or not speak their full mind, if they have to reach a certain karma threshold or tie it to an easily traceable identity.

Moderation is pretty good here from my experience, and it's an excellent place to get information from others without worrying about the identity of whom you are engaging with. Honestly a breath of fresh air keeping it more old school than modern social media platforms.

I like being able to comment without coming up with a traceable handle, I really don't think it is a problem. And yes, I also participate time to time in crypto related threads, but am certainly not a bot. Pseudoanonymity is valuable, and there's naturally a good overlap with individuals interested in crypto as many are privacy advocates. I really, strongly believe that it is not a problem to be able to easily post here without things like a degree of MFA. It allows for easier communication
