Here's how anoncast is going to go:

It's going to be fun and edgy for a while, and then people are going to realize that it makes slander free, and it will get noisy and useless and then people will unfollow it because it isn't high enough signal.

It will be more meaningful to say `anon of ${KNOWN GROU} says:`

@anoncast is already noisy. There's two potential solutions to that:

(1) curation, right now we have a dumb method of letting large holders curate content into @anonbangers which works for now, but we need to democratize this via weighted voting
(2) credentials, allow posters to attach zk credentials to their posts

This is an old internet lesson we keep having to relearn: cowards hiding behind anonymity let loose the vitriol they hold in a way they wouldn't if they were able to be held accountable. I feel strongly about the right to be pseudo and anon, but I think it only works when there is still skin in the game.

ZK can do this. e.g. a registry contract for pseudos that uses ZK attestations to link together any pseudo from a given linked identity so that those pseudos also have a cold start boost from having a real identity behind them, but then also have accountability: if you burn your pseudo, by being an ass, that reputation follows every subsequent pseudo. You can even enforce limits on how many pseudos, so that you could only run a single pseudo from a given identity.

Thinking a little here about how to enable pseudo/anon but still have skin in the game: https://warpcast.com/mrmemes.eth/0x737ce3ca

Maybe it's simpler for @anoncast though since you could just "slash" peoples right to post anon if they break with community norms?
