You can always use https://10minutesemail.net/ for the required email. No muss no fuss
I've been partial to https://mailinator.com, but some services are getting wise to it (and blocking *@mailinator.com addresses). Thanks for sharing an alternative!
What about using something like a protonmail address for all social media email?
Iirc proton mail has a backdoor. Though they likely won't be used outside of 'nať-sećurity interests'.
Guys, this is fact, also downvotes aren't private.
You may know the answer to this. If I've signed up with no email, and whilst on a secure VPN, how are they going to track me?
Your instance could (edit: theoretically, if they're running custom Lemmy code) track you by your browser fingerprint (screen size, installed fonts, plugins, etc.). Others could keep a profile on you based on what you comment/post/upvote and when.
Screen size?! I'll just buy another monitor then.
So if I'm on an app instead of a browser, that app developer would have to provide info on me too?
As for what I comment/post/upvote, that's not really what I'm asking about as that's a profile on what I do, not who I am from an identifiable point of view (correct me if I'm wrong)
