I agree wholeheartedly. I don’t mind using my real name or variants as a handle in most forums because I consciously control what I say and discuss. In the big scheme of things though, the idea of pushing a social network with more real-world ties onto a group of people gives off the conscription-y vibes.
Outside of easy chair ideology and all that I’m bummed about the poor execution of the new comments, seems the same level of trolling and misery is still there but more disorganized, and all the people who create and contribute to YT are getting burned by the change-over.
