Actually it does. Just hit "next" when it prompts for an email. I just created another account 30 seconds ago, no email required.

My comments often don't show up when I don't verify an email address, which severely limits the use of anonymous accounts.

To me it seems like there are features of the site or certain subs that essentially shitlist you until your account is of a certain age or upvote quota. You're not wrong that posts by brand new accounts seem to be invisible sometimes.

How will you avoid- > John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory was proposed in the Penny Arcade (web comic) on March 19, 2004 by Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins. It says that when a normal person is allowed anonymity and an audience, they lose social inhibitions and act inappropriately. If anything, the last decade has taught us the immutability of this law. Usernames and comment history seem to help somewhat w…

> If anything, the last decade has taught us the immutability of this law. Or equally likely-- there are a tiny fraction of bona fide users who act moderately anti-social on the net when granted anonymity, just as they would in real life. It's just that forums with no little to no publishing friction allow those people to do 100x damage compared to what they could get away with in real life. Add to that: * corporate-…

They seem to strip out all but one narrative, but thats irregardless of astroturf.

I don’t know, there seem to be various levels of anonymity with different social implications. Let’s roughly differenciate between: 1. Full Anonymity (no way to differenciate between user A and B except by the content) 2. Anonymous Pseudonymity (Users can take usernames, but they don’t mean a lot because they can be changed fast and there is no per user post history) 3. Accountbuilding Pseudonymity (Users usually sti…

You're coupling registration process with posting process. What evidence is there that a fully anonymous image board writable by Debian maintainers would follow this so-called "law?"

Patreon’s URL for reporting community guidelines violations is here: https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/requests/new Those guidelines are here for anyone who is curious: https://www.patreon.com/policy/guidelines

How is this relevant? The project does not seem to be violating any guidelines. Are you suggesting an illegal and unethical reporting of a sites donated income because you don't agree with it on a publicly indexed forum? If so, thats really messed up.

Really nice, I appreciate that you don't use Google's ReCaptcha. Some suggestions if you're targeting privacy, remove third party assets and remove all JavaScript and add a Tor hidden service. People who are obsessed with privacy will run NoScript a lot of time.

Agreed. NoCaptcha is a red falg to me as a user that usability has taken a backseat to ease of administration.

The issue is they never do.

That seems like a selection bias. You never see the ones who keep to themselves.

It doesn't matter if some of them keep to themselves. What matters is that those communities continuously spill out and if that has detrimental effects. I contend that they do and they have.

In addition to that, allowing those communities to exist legitimizes them and allows them to recruit impressionable people.

The combination of these two things lead to things like gamergate and "doing it for the lulz" and ends with things like the march in Charlottesville and the El Paso shooting.

I think you just read the reinvented Delicious.

I’d once built a Reddit with tags (or a Delicious with votes) 12 years ago. Never really took off and I shuttered it after 2 years.

I made something similar but very niche (only for audiobooks).

I think the format works great for a lot of topics.

Any sources on that? Tildes is a young community still tho, voat failed and I don't think it'll be able to reach much success either (where success = massive volume of users). We'll see.

Did Voat fail? It seems to me they attracted precisely the demographic they intended to.

Yeah, they have no posts in months? Or am I missing something
