I want to be part of the solution of the problems I see on Lemmy, that is why I opened my alt account at my current server to open new communities while fixing their issues.

I had been informed by the server admin that I should not post more than 5 posts in any local community which is guaranteed to kill my communities on my current server.

I am explaining the backstory here for people to understand my logic for my question.

So, I really appreciate any help here. If anyone can give me good servers to open my communities in.

My current communities:

News: to lower the load on Lemmy. World server and to improve the Fediverse health.
Europe: due to less than optimal moderation actions as documented in "power trippin " community.
Misinformation/ Disinformation: Because there is no community to post research and news about this topic.

Thank you all for your help. I really would appreciate any lead here.

I agree. If you're worried about it, set up a free gmail account to use for validation, problem solved.

You mean those free email accounts that actively scrape your emails for data?

Is everybody here just on crazy pills today?

They’re saying “free” email services. What they mean are disposable e-mail services. You go to a website, they provide you with a random e-mail address. You enter that address into the form, check for the verification code on the disposable e-mail site and you’re done with the disposable e-mail. You never visit the disposable site again. Do a search for “disposable email”.

Son I've been using mailinator since before you learned to type

They still track your data, they still sell your usage, in fact THAT IS THE ENTIRE BUSINESS MODEL FOR DISPOSABLE EMAILS

It really staggers me how ignorant everyone in this thread seems to be about basic security practices

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What security issue do you imagine arises from creating a Gmail account that receives a single Lemmy verification before the account is deleted?

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

they know your IP and user agent string, and now your lemmy ID.

Unless you are ridiculously security minded you already have google trackers perfectly fingerprinting you, so that's all they need to have a 99.95% verification on a point of access, a purchasing history, and likely years of browsing patterns to analyze.

Fast forward 3 years to avoid elections our current fascist government declares martial law and anyone who says bad things about him is a felon. Google steps up smartly and says "My Father, please have a list of every lemmy's userid and the last place they physically accessed the internet, plus years of cached sedition data by which to convict and execute them.

I hear you giggling. You won't be giggling in 3 years.

But if you only use that email account for authentication to the system and it's not tied to you, they have no way of tying it back to you. It's just an anonymous email address.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

that now has your IP address and your host string, as well as matching your ID to any sales trackers you happen to have, basically all you need to uniquely identify a user across sessions

All pretty easy to circumvent if you understand privacy. Guess you don't..

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So because I posted cybersecurity standard practices, I don't understand privacy.

Please explain your logic

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Your username is incredibly apropos.

If you're truly worried about that, turn the Internet off and never come back. What you are asking is impossible.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Incorrect.

Nobody has my IP, self-hosted vpn

My host string changes automatically every 3 minutes, and none of them report my actual system status

Every cookie and cache is purged on close except for a few whitelisted sites, and I regularly run diff scans for evercookies

So yes, it is possible, and is relatively easy to do

[–] sexyskinnybitch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And are you also clearing the logs at your ISP? If not, you're still being tracked. Even vpns are not as secure as people think they are. It's all trackable at some level.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

So what you're saying is you don't know what a VPN is, gotcha.

Maybe stop using the word then.

The only person that knows the IP of my VPN is me because I built it and I am the only one who uses it, meaning my ISP doesn't even know its a VPN, and all the traffic is encrypted so it doesn't look any different than all the non-vpn cover traffic I create.

Not even the hosting service knows its a VPN, and in any case my host doesn't keep logs of anything and is not subject to U.S. law

If I was using a public VPN service? Yah I'd be compromised because the access list of every public VPN is constantly being monitored and every time a new IP range is added it is discovered and disseminated within minutes.

So, tell me, I want to hear, how is it you think that I am being tracked. I'm genuinely curious.
