Getting rid of anonymity is in time going to lead to getting rid of the platform, so do it if you're feeling suicidal. People seek real anonymity for good reason. Not everything should follow them in life or for life.

I've been wondering too, what the solution would be. IF the bots were actually helpful, I wouldn't care, but they always push an agenda, create noise, or derail discussions instead.

For now maybe all forums should require some bloody swearing in each comment to at least prove you've got some damn human borne annoyance in you? It might even work against the big players for a little bit, because they have an incentive to have their LLMs not swearing. The monetary reward is after all in sounding professional.

Easy enough for any groups to overcome of course, but at least it'd be amusing for a while. Just watching the swear-farms getting set up in lower paid countries, mistakes being made by the large companies when using the "swearing enabled" models and all that.
