With “fuck you” money, you could purchase more dicks.

I think I see where you’re coming from. You just want an occasional “incognito” option for posts.

If I wanted to help out another user and share the story of my struggle with genital warts, I’d probably be more comfortable doing that if it wasn’t tied to my previous post history. Pour one out for Ken Bone.

My incognito posts would be subject to the same community standards as normal posts so if I used the feature to abuse or spam people, my real account would be affected.

I doubt there’s so much of a technical hurdle here as an ethical one. It comes down to whether you feel you can trust your (unpaid, volunteer) instance admin to not spill the beans about your genital warts, and whether THEY are happy being custodians of potentially sensitive PII. The inconvenience of a throwaway is also its main advantage: it isolates whatever sensitive thing you want to share from both you and the admin.

A group of us discovered the only range of non-firewalled IPs in our university, which belonged to a particular library building. And because this was Windows 95 and you could just change your IP to whatever you wanted, we could connect to Quakeworld with a ridiculously low ping.

I can foresee a situation where lots of lemmings will have two accounts.

Congratulations! You have been my first downvote on Lemmy! You said a dumb thing.
