It’s also better than the Scott Alexander situation, since your articles can only be doxed one at a time, rather than all at once.
It would be simple to write a bot that would scrape names from all the semi-anonymous articles. Someone could even set up a LessWrong mirror that automatically de-anonymised everything.
As suggested, we could force them to have a lesswrong account with e.g. 100 karma.
It should be straightforward to detect such a bot (the same user account clicking on every single semi anonymous article) and blocking it, and gaining 100 kudos is annoying enough to make it not worth doing repeatedly.
