Funny thing for me, is that Beehaw was the first bit of the Fediverse I ever came across. Tried to sign up, twice, didn't work. So that's how I ended up on .world, the first group I found that didn't want an essay to sign up.

But they do want your email address. Even Reddit didn't require that.

Only if you sign up through old.Reddit. And that’s because old Reddit is still using legacy code that didn’t require it. The default new Reddit sign up requires an email or signing up through Apple/google accounts.

Even if they don't require it, it's always a good idea to setup your email, it's necessary to recover your password in case of problems.

On these types of forums I always figure if I forget my password then it's time to make a new account anyway.

Nothing I post here is essential to me, and I can always find past exchanges from any random account.

And personally, I figure the longer I post under a single persona, the easier it is to connect that persona to my real identity. So account switching is good every once in a while.

I don't think so. I've signed up on beehaw without an email address.
