I honestly don't know what the Platonic principle is. It feels like newsworthiness to a general audience should factor in. At the very least, you'd expect some kind of consistency in how pseudonymity is granted

Yep. Ultimately we’re just going to disagree (which is great; I’m glad to have something to disagree with you about!). I’m just wondering if there’s some other principle here (but I’ll get out of your mentions with that part).

(I’ll just chip in to say I follow and continue to follow
@pinboard because I like people who are fine with people vociferously disagreeing in their mentions and often I vociferously agree, time for me to step out too

I’ve (maybe too vehemently) chimed in on both sides of this, I haven’t really followed SSC other than a handful of posts I found interesting, a handful I’ve found So Fucking Long (like the rest of this Rationalizing section of the web), and UNSONG which I genuinely liked.

I think the key problem with SSC is that under the guise of “Rationality”, is Rationalizes. It takes the idea that We Can Be Rational Here For A Second to make a bunch of seemingly innocuous assumptions that eventually add up to Scientifically I Should Be A Dick / Bystander
