The fact it does not fucking work should become blatantly, immediately obvious when you recall that hundreds of people proudly and publicly livestreamed their attempt to overthrow the US government's peaceful transfer of power under their wallet names.

The configuration where people choose and register a persistent pseudonym as their username is the system under which people behave least abusively to others. Pure anonymity with no persistent pseudonyms usually shakes out as slightly less abusive than "real names", even.

it not only has about three dozen more problems I've spent the last three years of my life painstakingly explaining to federal courts in hopes of striking down fuckshit state laws that are trying to mandate the practice, but on top of all of those EXTREMELY bad problems, it DOESN'T FUCKING WORK.

it not only is completely fucking unconstitutional to require in any way, it not only has been tried *at least* a dozen times I can think of and failed miserably every time, it not only creates an attractive nuisance of identity documentation for hackers to target for identity theft,

@dreamwidth.org if you're curious, it was me and one of my favorite coworkers at LiveJournal looking at each other at the point where we'd both ragequit and going "...it's open source, we could fork it and prove that we were right about what would work".

"But Poppy, who are you? Why should we listen to you?"
That's a very good question, I'm glad you asked. I've been stuck most of my life next to corn fields, and I've seen firsthand how poor rural communities are descended on by big business. I've been part of meetings where public opposition

you go to the next meeting during public comment, you'll look like a reactionary curmudgeon and be painted by the lawyers as a deluded hippie. They are practiced at leaning on stereotypes to influence opinion. Are you?
This is why you gotta attend meetings regularly. Civic engagement is good!

Look I get it, it's a lot easier to tell people how to write a book than to write one yourself. But at some point if you want anyone to give a shit about your writing philosophy, you also gotta write a book yourself

And I've noticed an uptick of bots from China hitting my website, as well as more "followers" with names/numbers and empty profiles. Be careful out there, kids. Russia and China know our government is weak and they're looking for toeholds.
