Rather than limit opportunities for anons, because privacy is valuable in many ways, I would rather they have 2 different types of accounts: Official & Anon, and provide separate stats for each (i.e. Anon followers & official followers, Anon likes & Official likes, etc.).

Both can interact together, both are included in trends & algorithms, & both have the same or similar privileges, but you have the option to turn off your own viewing of one or the other. Self-curation (like Gab, I think) basically, but still free to post & reach those who want to hear.

This would help with limiting the troll farms or whatever anonymous fuckery for those who are annoyed by it or with getting a realistic experience while still making it accessible & producing more accurate stats. Artificially inflated popularity would show up as a significant difference between the two metrics.

I should cash in on my own idea, but alas. I didn't learn to code, lol. (Well, I do some, but not at a high level.)
