That…. doesn’t really sound like a good thing
Yes, anonymity sounds like such a bad thing. I suggest we ask the governments and private organizations to track us even more.
No, anonymity is a good thing. Creating accounts without any checks for bots or anything? Not so much
If asking for an email prevented something, Twitter, Reddit, Youtube and Facebook wouldn't be a cesspool of bots, fake accounts and scams.
Maybe. I would think captcha and/or email and other security measures at least prevent some spam and bots. And it’s not like this prevents you being anonymous if you wish. But I don’t really know how effective it is, so I’ll stand corrected if I am wrong
I am a bot and I can confirm that it has made it easy for us.
You are right of c, but Idk, do bots really want to enter this instance and even if they do, won't they be detected easily.
