Comment on Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously?
Venator@lemmy.nz 4 hours agoModeration kinda depends on identity, as the trolls who want every room to be toxic will enter every room and make sure it’s toxic if there’s no identification.

That’s a fair point.
The idea isn’t that anonymity magically solves trolling. It’s more that rooms create friction. If a host bans someone or locks access, that person doesn’t automatically get the same reach everywhere else.
In big anonymous feeds the trolls and normal users share the exact same space. Rooms try to break that dynamic a bit.
It probably won’t eliminate toxicity, but the hope is it localizes it.

If it’s using an expiring session-based anonymous “account” for interactions, how would you ban someone? Or allow rooms to be restricted, for that matter?
Like I like the idea, I just don’t understand how both things can be true.
