4chan has fallen, they require email or 10 a minute cooldown for every post.

You wanna use something that hides your ip address with a burner email.

Eh, anonymity is great for some things, less so in others.

But burner emails are pretty much as anonymous as it gets on the fediverse. If you pick a random user name and cycle to a new account fairly often, you’re anonymous to other users. A VPN mostly anonymizes you from the instances.

Being real though, that’s kinda dickish to the instances because you’re wasting the tiny bit of resources used to create accounts. If you do it often enough to really anonymize, it adds up.

It would be possible to set up an instance where users could post as guests, ie everyone who did that would appear as the same user, something like anon@lemmychan.social.

It is also likely that such accounts would soon be banned in many places because people will use them to post unwanted posts and comments.

Anonymity relies on other people using the same name. Otherwise you’ve just got pseudonymity, like me right now.

You can get the same end result with throwaways, but it’s a bit more time-taking on most instances since spammers have abused most of the instances without a signup manual approval.
