Easier said than done with the monopolies they have on it all. One by one they are all bending the knee.

Decentralisation is the only way. I’ve only just recently signed up on here, how does moderation etc work? Not to be lazy in asking but I was a bit thrown off by having to submit my email to sign up. I’ve also been trying Mirage after being taken down from Reddit and wasn’t asked for any personal information to sign up on there.

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?
