I mean, I just love this instance. I wanted to ask a question on a community I didn’t want traced back to me and I opened my tor browser and just freaking created an account here without having to answer questions and without having to provide an email and posted a post within 5 mins! I don’t know of any other lemmy instance which lets me do that. Well done to the person who created this instance, I love it and imma stay on it.

The question may have been very personal in nature. Possibly medical. Anonymity is helpful in such circumstances.

Yes, anonymity sounds like such a bad thing. I suggest we ask the governments and private organizations to track us even more.

No, anonymity is a good thing. Creating accounts without any checks for bots or anything? Not so much

If asking for an email prevented something, Twitter, Reddit, Youtube and Facebook wouldn’t be a cesspool of bots, fake accounts and scams.

CAPTCHA is re-enabled so email verification is optional

Makes me nostalgic for the afternoon I spent being a libertarian when I was 14. Good times!

There’s a lotta tech-folk on Lemmy. It’s really nice when people are eager to lend you their knowledge instead of berating you for not knowing!

lol it’s mainly about piracy, I didn’t want it to be tracked back to me. This instance has really been good to me, idk!

I might carry this on as my main account to bring some resistance between me and lemmy
