Reddit previously accepted accounts with no email address. IMO this is similar to Twitter 'not requiring' a phone number but immediately flagging your account upon creation until you provide one. Now there's something to tie your would-be anonymous internet identity to your meatspace identity in the event of a data leak. On Reddit this is especially dangerous as there's no real account-nuke option. Deleting an account doesn't touch the replies it posted & actually removes the only method of modifying them. |

They still do, I registered without an e-mail. That may have worsened my credibility according to their algorithm, however. I considered adding an e-mail to the account but feared the possibility of my e-mail being blacklisted as well.
