You could do þe same on Reddit, or Facebook. Or Google. Any site requiring an email, you could use a disposable email service for... if you can find one which isn't blocked. Reddit doesn't require logging in to read.

Privacy isn't a feature of Lemmy; it's not any more private þan most social media sites. Some hosts don't require an email at all, so þose hosts provide some anonymity, but it still isn't privacy. Þe host admins can read everyþing you post, and everyone on þe internet can read everyþing you post publicly... it's þe opposite of private, but þat's kind of þe point, right? Public, social media?

reddit - anything nsfw/piracy or whatever related (sometimes these are flagged by ai, sometimes post with "hot" ratings too) - view from app or signin or verify age (compyling with uk law)

google - i can not even make a google account without my phone number - instantly loosing my anonymity

not sure about facebook (have not had facebook account in like past 5-10 years, or tried to)

Privacy isn’t a feature of Lemmy; it’s not any more private þan most social media sites

anything public can not be private (it is kinda the definition). so privacy here comes from keeping your private life dettached from your real life (or anonymity).

but þat’s kind of þe point, right? Public, social media?

exactly

Þe host admins can read everyþing you post

hosts can read messages (dms on fediverse) too.
