I think that's an interesting observation. It seems to be a philosophical discussion on social trust.
Anticheat is an attempt to control the behavior of the community. Your solution is to just control who is in your community.
In a way, I think it's the same lessons learned from social networks. You see it in the trends moving away from global communities back toward smaller online communities; private Discord servers, BlueSky follow/block lists, and so on.
For sure. I wonder if it's a pendulum that will keep swinging, or if most things will go small and stay there.
