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.

    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?
