I've got to make a decision and want to take a room temperature check on what sacrifices people find acceptable for their own comfort. Use any services you know you shouldn't? Any tools that you're just waiting for a chance to replace but can't yet?

To be honest, I got banned off Reddit a few weeks ago and was surprised when I signed up here that i'd have to give my email. I thought from what i'd read on Reddit that Lemmy was decentralised?? Hate giving up any of my personal information for these online forums. I came here to try it after also trying Mirage and their sign up process required no personal information input which was good but I thought f*ck it i'll give it a look on here as well. Is there any way around it? Has anyone else tried Mirage?

Mirage feels to me like the very OG Reddit. Even from a UI standpoint. They’ve built their own blockchain. So when I signed up there, I was given my own seed phrase to access the account vs having to give any of my own personal credentials. Seems a lot more privacy-focused. Didn't ask me for my personal email, nothing at all as a matter of fact. Definitely feel a lot more comfortable that way.
