Pretty much every social media site has that same level of “privacy”. You can make a fake facebook account with a throwaway email. Same with Twitter etc.

The big unknown (well it’s not really unknown) with Lemmy etc is what the individuals who host instances will do when the feds etc come knocking asking to hand over all the user data for someone. You can bet that every single one of them will sing like a little birds and give them the keys to the kingdom, IP address and all.
