Research shows that if you remove anonymity, you won’t hear from most of your readers

"Many media outlets seem to believe that by forcing readers to use their
real identities, they will solve the problem of bad comments — but in
reality, all they are doing is making it less likely that most of their
readers will ever respond to their content"

I've been saying this for years.
