Allowing anonymous signatories only weakens the petition. Two important people signing a petition is worth more than 10000 anons.
I scrolled through a few pages and 40-60% are anonymous. Even a handful weakens the petition.
I wish more people would participate in civics . Attend your city council or local political party meeting. See what it takes to actually collect signatures, run a campaign.
Online slactivism actually just worsens the cause, because potential energy is vented on futile online “petitions” rather than taking real action.
