I feel that no user accounts just makes things harder. For some things it isn't required, like joining a video call.

But user accounts helps reduce spam, save profiles and enable cross platform syncing.

Sure you could do something like have a user account-like process, which involves unique ids and all that jazz. Except, at that point, you're making a user account with 10 more steps.

Yeah, but I think a lot of things could do well with just a pseudonym and a passphrase. Sure, that's still a user account, but no email or phone number or other stuff required (unless you want notifications, or to be able to reset your passphrase).

And maybe prefer procedurally-generated identicons rather than photo avatars if you want a visual aspect.
