Hi,

I invited a friend on this instance ( lemmy.ml ) but it appear that now, creation of account require to give an email address !

Too bad my friend live in a dictatorial country and you can't create an email account without identify yourself (either by phone number or other measure).

And of course If you say something that is (or might be in the future) prohibited by the government -> jail ( or quietly ban of all public services, bank account freeze etc..)

So why ! lemmy.ml request now an email address ??

Thanks.

Tell your friend in a dictorial country that Lemmy.ml has pro dictorial leanings and is probably not the best instance for someone who is feeling oppressed.
