This! While sometimes I want to use a pseudonym, there are many times I want to say "I am the human who I say I am," and currently, that means hoping a platform will magically verify me (if they even verify anyone) or, I suppose, posting a copy of my ID to the internet, and even that doesn't work so well.

While there are many routes to be semi-anonymous, there are very few to being verified (or maybe I just don't know about them)
