AFAICS, this is not the problem.

The nicks are clearly randomly generated by smashing words together
and the content seems to be what comes out of a language model after
reading angry Facebook posts.

Registering is quick and easy and would filter 99% of the automated
accounts. Not 100% and not the people with too much time in their
hands. But those, nothing will.

It's like a bicycle lock: the bigger your lock, the more likely the
thief will steal someone else's bike. But someone wanting *your* bike
will take it, no matter the lock.
