How to compromise between privacy and anonymity vs. moderation and spam control on social platforms? (lemmy.ml)

anonymity and privacy seem to come at odds with a social platform's ability to moderate content and control spam.

If users have sufficient privacy and anonymity, then they can simply use another identity to come back, or use multiple identities.

Are there ways around this? It seems that any method of ensuring that a banned user is kept off the platform would necessitate the platform knowing information about the user and their identity

Maybe if, somehow, content moderation focused more on CONTENT rather than the users themselves? I suppose that may be the best way, but that's easier said than done.
