Looks like Slashdot no longer allows Anonymous Cowards. TIL.

(I'm not editorializing

that's what you'd show up as if you posted anonymously.)

I have not visted many of these so explore at your own risk.

In case of 4chan it's obviously other anonymous imageboards. There doesn't seem to functionality in Lemmy that would allow for posting without accounts.

Accounts (which contain the private key that signs the headers in your posts, and the public key to verify) are required for ActivityPub to work.

I imagine it wouldn't be hard to add that functionality to an instance, but given the pearl clutching Lemmy instance admins are prone to it would be defed pretty quickly.

Sorry you being able to store child porn on my instance is considered pearl clutching. No fucking way I want that responsibility because I like to read memes.

[–] kionite231@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

hmm, maybe I should open an issue on github about it? however it will make moderating communities difficult.

Tumblr, depending on where you go on there.

The dark web has many truly anonymous forums, if you can tolerate the subject matter.
