I'd also prefer the default anonymous late 90s, but without anonymous bots challenging the Turing Test. Not sure how to get there. In the 90s they were easy to spot by the hyperlinks to online counterfit running shoe retailers.
I was obliged to create an account with email + phone number, just to save my origin/destination on mapy.cz (hiking maps). Not my history! Just to keep state between app reopening.
There are so many voices now that someone or something is moderating them no matter what (in most cases just by ordering them.) The challenge now is meta-moderation.
There are still few enough moderators that one or two "good guys" could fill the shoes of the meta-moderator, e.g. EFF could tell you that HN is good and Xitter is bad.
