No thanks. The Fediverse needs to remain anonymous, or at least users need to have the option not to provide any personal information.
With all of our comments and VOTES out in the open, everyone should definitely have the ability to protect their identity as well as possible. Of course, your instance knows your IP and could in theory ID you by sharing that info with other websites you've visited that actually have PII on you.
