Do you think people on social media should be required to disclose their names?

I would love a real-names only network. There should be other networks as well, but this should be an option.

A lot of people on Facebook use their real names, and back before I quit it, I was pretty shocked at the kinds of horrible things people would say under their real name and under a picture of their face, also, knowing full well their friends and family could easily see it. I don't think real names would help that much.

That strikes me as boomer stuff though. Not as many millennial++ doing that, and I figure that number will just decline (especially given that you can easily just go be socially repulsive with anonymity and no repercussions on other mainstream networks now).

> boomer stuff

Makes note to self: calling people boomers is totally a-ok!

I am literally referring to baby boomers, which is a generation of Americans.

"Note to self: It's okay to call people millennials now?!"

Uh yes, it is.

We already have a few: LinkedIn and the real world.

LinkedIn is a professional network. It's not designed to facilitate the same types of conversations that happen e.g. on Twitter (and no, I don't think the presence of anon accounts make Twitter what it is, at least not in the circles I care about).

"Real world" is umm... okay. Thanks for the contribution.

I use mine. It keeps me honest.
