    No, as it would create a lot of excuses for targeted harrassment and just increase toxicity

      Excuses are only that, especially if your instance has already implemented robust server rules against harassment.

      I think the real sign of toxicity is weighting (perceived) anonymity over accountability for your actions on any platform. I’ll vote for transparency any day.

        Accountability, really? Okay, what’s your full legal name and address? If you’re totally fine with your idea of accountability, why not tell us all?

          Nice cherrypicking. Don’t get a bellyache from that fine harvest.

          Edit for context: as I wrote elsewhere, “Anybody using the fediverse is ensured pseudonymity already, the privacy issue should be whether your account(s) can be linked to your real life identity against your will.”

          I’m perfectly happy with being accountable for what I say and do within our pseudonymous community here. Our bad faith friend above doesn’t get to pull his infantile whataboutism, sorries.

              the vote history of your lemmy account is visible

              vs

              your real name and address are exposed

              how the fuck are these things similar

                  You mentioned accountability

                  not really. but yes i believe your online profile, as vague as that term is, can and should remain distinct from your irl personal info. what your account has up or down voted on activitypub is a far cry from being personal info

                  (edited for clarity)

                    Can you see how easily one can use that logic to basically be as abusive as they want online and be A-OK with their online account being held accountable as long as it doesn’t actually impact their personal life?
