The reason I need disposable account just for convenience.

  • Because all online account, I use random-generate password with password manager.
  • I rent computer (pc-bang, internet cafe) to have game night with friends 2-3 times a week
  • I don't feel like login my password manger on stranger PC

So, I just create new lemmy account to intereact with people.

And the way I create it:

  • Pick a random name using fantasy random name generator
  • Reuse the password only for temp account. Seriously, If you know that password, you can hack all my temp account

The instance:

  • I just browse the instance list, pick those with ~1000 user
  • the one with no application process, the one which I can get a new account ready to go now.
  • Use temp email, 10 minutes email if required. Leave email blank optional.

I think my privacy is fully protect. And I help less well know instance have out-going interactive like vote and comment.

Perhaps this is a cancer, and it will help lemmy immune system grow to fight back.

I mean, you're right, it kind of is provoking an "immune" response 🤷🏻‍♂️. Several UIs already add badges to new accounts since trolls spinning up new accounts to ban-evade is an ongoing problem.

I maintain a Lemmy UI, and I'm now adding a feature to let people hide new accounts; they can specify a minimum age and only accounts older than that will be shown in communities they're not a moderator of.

Yeah cool. Just like nostr, the client handle filter rule.

Of the problems lemmy currently has, people making throw away accounts isn't really high up on my list of cancer level problems.

Lemmy.world getting so big it can take days/weeks for content to federate is a huge issue, many communities on lemmy.world simply don't show up on my instance, or my posts don't show up on their instances for DAYS!

Small communities need better moderation tools (in community posting requirements, account age, karma, only voting if your an active poster in the community)... right now niche communities get stomped pretty hard by drive by hate-engagement.

Searching though a specific person's posts (like finding a post i made myself)

people able to kill entire threads by deleting the post, all the contributions of the community disappear, discouraging engagement.
