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.

So…

You’re always using the same password for all your spam accounts…

But you won’t just use one because you don’t want to remember the password?

The ones thats the same for all of them?

And somehow all this seems not only like a good idea to you? But you think it’s a good enough idea to brag to people about?

I hope you’re trolling, because if this is serious and you’re not a child, life is gonna be hard.

I disagree you’re helping smaller instances in any way and posit that you’re making the fediverse worse with that practice.

You’re creating and abandoning accounts on the regular. Those accounts federate out to every instance the home one is linked to and exist in perpetuity. We’re talking several thousand instances or more. All filling up with abandoned accounts from the same person.

This post isn’t the flex you think it is.

lemmy has to be able to grow, so its better to run into account build up early rather than later.

This is silly, imo. If you don’t want to be at all identifiable, use something like 4chan. However, there is a reason places that allow that level of anonymity are cancerous.

Congratulations. Poor people who try to engage with you, because you’re never going to read a reply and it’s all wasted effort.
