I suggest watching the video, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QkC1aK7jfLo but the article has an OK summary.

Also a Mastodon shout-out in the video.

it used to be just for nice social bubbles

now it's for political disinformation bubbles and the two cannot be untangled. users will not do it voluntarily

real identities and moderation in the form of fact checking are the only way on all social media

    Id'ing everyone to what they say on social media is not the "only way," it's the path to ruin. Have fun with your palantir crafted social score being used against you pal. Such a shit take, no wonder we are where we are. And you are railing against propaganda too, the irony.

    It's such a modern problem, clearly we need some new solutions. Maybe verified, none anonymous social media is at least part of that solution.

    I'm not saying that all social media should be verified accounts. But if everything becomes bots run by EvilCorp, then there's nothing left for the rest of us.

    As far as I know there's nothing about the Fediverse that protects us from EvilCorps bots
