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.
