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.

But they're not real accounts; just abandoned burner accounts. I would hardly call that growth.
