Lemmy is a social media after all, and we have to assume that what we write is public.
Lemmy is great because many instances allow people to create accounts without an email, so you can create burner accounts if you want.
This isn’t an oversight. If you aren’t comfortable with the coversations you are participating in or the upvote/downvote you make, you either don’t participate or you create a burner account for that.
Doesn’t mean it isn’t scummy. In today’s day and age, where you can link every platform with every other platform, they could have integrated their existing account system with Steam and make the game available to people that already own the game.
But there is more money to squeeze out of their playerbase.
