Plausible anonymity is a crucial safety tool for allowing developers to resist the forces of capital. These sorts of things aim to remove that so any sort of deviation from the mainstream, such as Lemmy, can be more effectively repressed via social pressure if nothing else.

Developers, musicians, etc. figured out the solution to the “how to get both anonymity and trust/transparency?” Issue a long time ago and that’s through pseudonyms. This breaks the anonymity part and does nothing to increase trust.
