Comment on is there is any Lemmy server that care about privacy(does not require email), Does not impose limits on community posts like my current instance and does not have high amount of restrictions?

  They’re saying “free” email services. What they mean are disposable e-mail services. You go to a website, they provide you with a random e-mail address. You enter that address into the form, check for the verification code on the disposable e-mail site and you’re done with the disposable e-mail. You never visit the disposable site again. Do a search for “disposable email”.

    Son I’ve been using mailinator since before you learned to type

    They still track your data, they still sell your usage, in fact THAT IS THE ENTIRE BUSINESS MODEL FOR DISPOSABLE EMAILS

    It really staggers me how ignorant everyone in this thread seems to be about basic security practices

      What security issue do you imagine arises from creating a Gmail account that receives a single Lemmy verification before the account is deleted?

  But if you only use that email account for authentication to the system and it’s not tied to you, they have no way of tying it back to you. It’s just an anonymous email address.

    that now has your IP address and your host string, as well as matching your ID to any sales trackers you happen to have, basically all you need to uniquely identify a user across sessions

      All pretty easy to circumvent if you understand privacy. Guess you don’t…

        So because I posted cybersecurity standard practices, I don’t understand privacy.

        Please explain your logic

      If you’re truly worried about that, turn the Internet off and never come back. What you are asking is impossible.

        Incorrect.

        Nobody has my IP, self-hosted vpn

        My host string changes automatically every 3 minutes, and none of them report my actual system status

        Every cookie and cache is purged on close except for a few whitelisted sites, and I regularly run diff scans for evercookies

        So yes, it is possible, and is relatively easy to do
