    An instance not requiring email is going to be exploited by spammers and scammers, and probably defederated quite fast

      The problem is that I can register with temp email on Reddit, while it’s not an option on Lemmy.

          With all respect to your opinion, there is a lot of original content on Reddit. There is a reason why Reddit is one of the top Social Media websites in 2025(According to SimilarWeb):

            Regardless of whether it has original content (of course it does, its userbase is massive 😅) it does still absolutely have a bot problem, and reddit has way more resources to throw at the issue than we do. This is pretty much all community built and run with donations.

              1. Google (mauh, has some good utilities)
              2. YouTube (Basically the only available videos platform, like it or not)
              3. Facebook (A lot of content that you might not know of is only shared on Facebook exclusively, despite being currently filled with slop)
              4. Instagram (Again, pretty good amount of exclusive content, like it or not)
              5. ChatGPT(No comment here)
              6. X/Twitter, weirdly enough, shit load of exclusive content, despite a lot of people leaving the platform and Mastodon and Bluesky having a better offerings.
              7. Reddit.

              Regardless if you want to admit it or not, exclusive content and good offerings attracts people.

          The registration application is theoretically approved by Humans which ban Temporary email services.

            I think “theoretically” is the keyword here. Never had an issue with it.
