    For older bigots you would filter them away.

    For brand new bigots. That might require a “if the person’s history is too small, exclude” type rule. Which is less than ideal, yes. Lots of false positives there.

    But let’s not put the cart before the horse. I think it’s a pretty good idea and I’d like to see it tested.

      Doesn’t work. For trans folk particularly, throw away accounts not linked to their main account is often the first step of exploring their identity online.

          This is all hypotheticals for you, based on some ideal you think is important.

          It’s lived experience for me. I told you it wouldn’t work for many folk. Your priority is “free” speech ahead of well being, and well, as a member of a targetted minority on the internet, my priorities are in a different order

              There’s nothing to validate. You asked a question, I answered it.

              I don’t want the system you describe. Should it ever exist though, if it appeals to you, then use it. Then we’re both happy.
