This ends up as an ad for Keyoxide. I'm not complaining though, it looks like a nice minimal FOSS alternative to Keybase, but based on GPG this time. See also Keys.Pub for a different approach.

People are jackasses online even with their real names on display because they face very little repercussions for their actions. They send a mean message, get no immediate reaction to it (someone's pained or offended face, a verbal or physical confrontation, reprimands from the rest of the in-group...), and feel like they can get away with it again.
