With "fuck you" money, you could purchase more dicks.

This is the best plan I've seen yet.

I think I see where you're coming from. You just want an occasional "incognito" option for posts.

If I wanted to help out another user and share the story of my struggle with genital warts, I'd probably be more comfortable doing that if it wasn't tied to my previous post history. Pour one out for Ken Bone.

My incognito posts would be subject to the same community standards as normal posts so if I used the feature to abuse or spam people, my real account would be affected.

I doubt there's so much of a technical hurdle here as an ethical one. It comes down to whether you feel you can trust your (unpaid, volunteer) instance admin to not spill the beans about your genital warts, and whether THEY are happy being custodians of potentially sensitive PII. The inconvenience of a throwaway is also its main advantage: it isolates whatever sensitive thing you want to share from both you and the admin.

A group of us discovered the only range of non-firewalled IPs in our university, which belonged to a particular library building. And because this was Windows 95 and you could just change your IP to whatever you wanted, we could connect to Quakeworld with a ridiculously low ping.

I can foresee a situation where lots of lemmings will have two accounts.

It's a great predictor of how the rest of your interaction with a site will go. If a dev doesn't have the space and motivation to give a shit about details like this, they'll cut corners on other shit too. It doesn't always mean they're bad developers; more often they're just rushed.

As if to prove the point: Mastodon runs on Ruby on Rails :D

Congratulations! You have been my first downvote on Lemmy! You said a dumb thing.

Good bot.

Also: Good! Bots! This is the first one I've seen.

I've tried Jerboa, Summit and Liftoff but my daily is wefwef because it has the most complete interface.

https://wefwef.app. It's a progressive web app so your browser will let you install like a normal phone app. Even worked on my Linux desktop.

I knew it was coming but still it sucked to check in on the app and have nothing load.

Welp, that frees up a coveted slot near the bottom of my home screen.

I think it's a server issue (because of the influx of folks like us) more than the apps, which are just dumb clients for the API.

That said, you need get yourself on wefwef.app because it's the most polished one I've seen.

Summit is pretty raw in places but it's fast and simple. The developer is putting out updates every few days and actively taking user feedback on c/summit. I'm going to stick with it.

I trust that you all are normal and level headed individuals who can come to disagreements but still respect eachother

Not me!

Either, or both. The Fediverse is the way forward for government announcements.
