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.

Congratulations. Poor people who try to engage with you, because you’re never going to read a reply and it’s all wasted effort.
That’s…literally the same process trolls use.
The difference is that the content and interactive.
Troll create a lot of account to break thing.

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.
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.
It’s good for your privacy, unless that master password is found, maybe. Aren’t you wasting space across all the instances having to track your accounts, though?
