I've wondered this myself. I would love a version of reddit only with real people. I'd also love it if the anonymity was a gradient, and not a binary.

E.g. you could join a California based subreddit and verify you are a California resident, but not go further than that, etc., without cross-tying with other claims you've made about yourself in other forums/sub-reddits.

I've thought about using the various crypto-decentralized options here, such as Proof of Humanity or BrightID.

I'd be curious if you've made any progress here thinking about this, feel free to DM me via profile.
