Yo everyone, what's good? Lemmy virgin here, just got signed up after being banned on Reddit for my opinions and takes on Israel (lol) hoping here isn't the same.
Question though if anyone can help me. I'd been testing out and using Mirage before this and what I really liked over there was the fact I had to give no personal info when signing up. It seems to be more privacy focused. I had to give my personal email to sign up here on Lemmy. But then I seen someone commenting on a topic on privacy that they didn't? Have I done something wrong?
I much prefer operating on these forums without giving any info about myself, like on Mirage for example. Can anyone advise?
ZeroNet was doing something similar over a decade ago, the idea of a radical free-speech / censorship-resistant blockchain-mediated forum is nothing new. (In the end these spaces tend to attract pedophiles, Nazis, and other such taboo groups who experience the most censorship elsewhere.)
My issue with this is less about a lack of knowledge (I have more crypto and blockchain knowledge than I would like to have), but more about the disappointment in crypto-bro culture and their ideological associations. NFTs, cryptocurrency, and blockchain technologies are all darlings of reactionaries and grifters - it's a toxic culture, and I'm just not interested in anything associated with it.
