I would love to see this higher bar for throwaway accounts on topics like CCP and other geopolitical discussion where there is a strong incentive for organized brigading & propaganda.
But I've also personally used a couple new separate accounts to comment my experience & knowledge on topics that I wouldn't want to be google able to myself, even if I share that with my IRL friends.
Maybe there could be an option for 'private post' that you can still use your main account so mods can still look at coordination across accounts etc but the public facing handle is not tied to your public profile.
Probably would still encourage the type of comments most in this thread are against though that's a hard problem.
