       The sheer number of people on Facebook with their real names, photos, locations and workplaces on their profile who are happy to throw abuse at other people kinda disproves the argument that it’s online anonymity that causes abusive behaviour

       @kirstyyarr That argument against anonymity was always bogus. They just wanted real identities for advertising reasons, otherwise it's hard to cross reference the profiles with information from other sources, like credit card companies and data brokers.

       @kirstyyarr Before I left Facebook, I owned a page with about 120k likes. The flamewars in the comments were, honestly, nastier than anything I've seen on any other platform. My neighborhood group (!) was almost as bad. Lack of anonymity extending to *knowing where you live* was no deterrent to abusive behavior.

       @gcupc @kirstyyarr It may have always been pure shite, but the two sharp declines in the quality of my FB experience were about six months after I graduated college and again after the 2016 election. There was also a slow decline between HS and college while Zuck was ruining the site with constant redesign. More about the 2016 decline in the nest post.

       @gcupc @kirstyyarr In 2017, the comment sections and large groups all went to shit—and the #MAGA hat crowd was an entirely optional ingredient in causing bullying and other nasty behavior. You’d see circlejerks of petty insults and played-up vitriol justified as “a display of our anger” among groups of alleged non-alt-rightoids

       @gcupc @kirstyyarr Much of the culpability lies with group admins who had a moderation policy of “leave things up and let the nastiness in the comments scare off those who disagree” under the guise of “accountability to prevent deleting posts”. They should either have yanked the parent post or locked and cleaned up the comments sections.

       @gcupc @kirstyyarr By leaving a group roast of OP up, it provides validation to trolls and scared away the good-faith clueless.They also like to have a rule of “don’t use #FB’s group moderation tools; tag a moderator in the comments instead”, which just encourages sloppy moderation(Rant end)

       @kirstyyarr The problem was never anonymity or pseudonymity, it is impunity and immunity.Ex-Googler Yonatan Zunger, chief architect of Google+, has an excellent observation on this, and of the harms of forced identity revelation.

       @kirstyyarr In practice, the forced revelation of information makes individual privilege and power more important. When everyone has to play with their cards on the table, so to speak, then people who feel like they can be themselves without consequence do so freely -- these generally being people with support groups of like-minded people, and who are neither economically nor physically vulnerable....1/2https://web.archive.org/web/20180903205908/https://plus.google.com/+YonatanZunger/posts/WegYVNkZQqq

       @kirstyyarr People who are more vulnerable to consequences use concealment as a method of protection: it makes it possible to speak freely about controversial subjects, or even about any subjects, without fear of harassment.2/2

       @dredmorbius @kirstyyarr Except transparency and accountability were exactly what gamergate was calling for.  This is really a bizarre article
