The only reason I use things like HN, reddit, twitter is relative anonymity without a lot of effort. I've used the past few months to set up my own mastodon, password server, matrix server for my friends group. I'm just waiting for everyone to start demanding ID and that will be the final nail in the coffin for this stuff and end of an era for me. I don't need anyone telling me to "end it now!", that's impractical until they force my hand, I'm a pragmatist.
