Yo everyone, what’s good? Lemmy virgin here, just got signed up after being banned on Reddit for my opinions and takes on Israel (lol) hoping here isn’t the same.

Question though if anyone can help me. I’d been testing out and using Mirage before this and what I really liked over there was the fact I had to give no personal info when signing up. It seems to be more privacy focused. I had to give my personal email to sign up here on Lemmy. But then I seen someone commenting on a topic on privacy that they didn’t? Have I done something wrong?

I much prefer operating on these forums without giving any info about myself, like on Mirage for example. Can anyone advise?

    Nah i’m with you on that one 100% as well. As someone that’s been in the crypto space for years now. (More than I would like to admit). Crypto Twitter for example is a cesspit. I find myself enjoying Mirage more so now due to the fact it’s not too dominated with Crypto content. Far from it at this stage. Plus there’s no algo, it’s all opt in/opt out self moderation, which suits me also.

    But I hear you on the crypto culture 100%.

      oh, that’s nice - I remember enjoying aspects of ZeroNet, though it was hard to filter all the junk out; it was also much smaller than Lemmy.

      I think you will probably fit in nicely on Lemmy, tbh - anti-Zionism is pretty much the default here (which is why I assume you got kicked from Reddit), and there are a lot of techie people here, too.

      Thanks for being nice to me and hearing me out 💕
