    Right but without verification I can go be David Attenborough and there’s not much way to figure it out, unless there’s another person claiming to be Attenborough.

    The less famous and in the media a person is, the harder it is to know if their account is legitimate.

    Depending on community driven accountability without tools means that new community members have no idea what is credible, only what is popular. That can be gamed, whereas accountability and reputation won’t be.

    The loss of tools doesn’t negate existing reputation, it diminishes the ability to build reputation, and the community will continue to atrophy.

    Taking such an extreme stance is a bit histrionic, try less relying on extremes and personal attacks like “delusional”
