I have always assumed longterm pseudonyms will be traceable, but I have not seen much analysis or datapoints on it. Do you have some links on that?
On coordinated attacks; Can’t a “recursive” karma system that assigns more weight to higher-karma users’ votes, combined with a good moderation team, and possibly an invite-based registry system work? I think you’re too pessimistic. Have many competent people researched this problem at all?
Dr. Hsu is now being “cancelled.” He is using a Google Docs to gather signatures in his defense. That Google Docs was very hard to sign, possibly because of high genuine traffic or DDoS attacks. It’s clear that we have no machinery for coordinating again cancellation. I am no expert, but I can already think of a website that gathers academics, and uses anonymized ring signatures for them to support their peers against attacks.
Honestly, the only single accomplishment I have seen in this area is Sam Harris. He understood the danger early, and communicated that to his followers, subsequently building his platform via direct subscriptions that is somewhat “cancelproof.”
