I think they are leaving out something quite important in this blog post - nobody is using their real names here.

It’s very different from Meta or Google or whatever big tech company people have accounts on, where they know your real name and many more details, such as phone number and address.

I don’t see the privacy danger in someone sweeping up what we are talking about here, since we are pseudo anonymous. Am I missing something?

Whats the value of random aliases discussing something and why is that a privacy issue?

    If you don’t register with an email address, I’m not sure there’s much privacy violation going on. We’re all posting to a public forum (like reddit, Meta, Twitter, Nextdoor, LinkedIn and countless other places) so use common sense and don’t post anything truly private or self-identifying.

      If you don’t register with an email address that can attest to your identity being linked to that content, it becomes difficult for an admin to honor deletion requests from potentially random individuals without any way to verify they are who they say they are.
