- [3782198-036](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782198-036) [mechanism/argued] *(failure mode)* -- The Tragedy of the Commons is a natural consequence of allowing anonymous participation, which is why the unfiltered layers of platforms such as Twitter, YouTube comments, and Reddit display toxic results.
  > The Tragedy of the Commons is a natural consequence of al- lowing anonymous participation. Anyone who has spent a few hours delving past the top filtered contributions on platforms such as Twitter, YouTube comments, or Reddit can observe the toxic results of anonymity.

- [3782198-037](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782198-037) [design/argued] -- Anonymity should be balanced rather than absolute: a member's power to broadcast should be tied to a pseudonymous account carrying meaningful and valuable reputation that is lost when the broadcasting power is abused.
  > Therefore, anonymity should be balanced. Your power to broadcast your voice should be tempered by hav- ing that voice tied with a pseudonymous36 account with meaningful and valuable rep- utation. If you abuse your broadcasting power, then you should lose your reputation.
