I see that it’s time to link this again: <https://geekfeminism.fandom.com/wiki/Who_is_harmed_by_a_%22R...>

That doesn’t invalidate what I said. Anonymity protects both “good” and “bad” people. My argument was just that it doesn’t seem fair to use this case to justify anonymity, when removing anonymity would also probably have solved it.

It’s not the conclusion I’m disagreeing with, just the logic. (Perhaps I undermined this aspect by indulging in the thought experiment where accountability was actually held. Do I think such a scheme would actually work well? Not at all. People are involved.)

I wasn't looking to thoroughly justify anonymity, more like a pragmatic reason that it's needed on the current Internet at the individual level.

I've attempted to archive the link at both Internet Archive and Archive Today, though both fail to show content.

Seems to work fine: Last succesful archive was made on march 16th: <https://web.archive.org/web/20250316060617/https://geekfemin...>

And I just now added a new one: <https://web.archive.org/web/20250519201255/https://geekfemin...>
