I imagine it wouldn't be hard to add that functionality to an instance, but given the pearl clutching Lemmy instance admins are prone to it would be defed pretty quickly.
It would be defed pretty quickly because all bots, alt right trolls, pedophiles and anyone looking to share illegal content would instantly flock to it.
Amen, Sopuli wouldn't federate with such instance either. It would introduce too much problems. Bad idea.
From what I've seen 4chan seems to be able to keep at least two of those out with captcha and jannnies.
You'd probably need to limit anonymous posting to local communities to prevent issues though.
Sorry you being able to store child porn on my instance is considered pearl clutching. No fucking way I want that responsibility because I like to read memes.
Tell you what: you go host that instance, with no pearl-clutching. Don't worry about any knocks at the door, or federal agents abseiling through your windows. You don't clutch no pearls, right?
My point was more that instance admins defed for things that are comparatively minor, relative to allowing anonymous posting, not that allowing anonymous posting is a good idea (even if it's technically possible).
