Lemmy is still far from being another reddit. So it is definitely normal to see the same active users. For example, I see blaze alot.
It's kind of sad that people can't take such things as sarcasm without me explicitly stating that it is.
Point 2... if you pay for a email aliasing service, you will be locked in. What I suggest is using plus addressing. e.g.
example+83hdo72@example.com
As long as you keep using randomized ones, this'll be as good as an alias against automated and manual login attempts. It just does not hide your base email, which would be
example@example.com
Many email services offer some free aliases. For example, I use one alias, along with my main email that is only used for important services. Other than that, I have an alias that is used for online accounts. This way, your main inbox is free of spammers. And even if your main address were to be the target of a spammer, the automatic spamming software most likely will not chop off the plus part, so you can easily block that email with the specific plus identifier. Not as good as external email aliasing services, but at least you won't be locked into the email aliasing service. Bitwarden has a generator for such things, really nice tbh.

How about I wipe the drive clean and install gentoo
If you have a new NVIDIA GPU (Turing+), you can use the new open kernel module. If you have older ones, I guess you're stuck with the proprietary or bad unofficial open source ones. The open kernel module works good and gets the job done. No need to be afraid of it. I get over 1000fps in (optimized) minecraft with shaders. I couldn't do that in windows.
The whole idea of the fediverse is decentralization and federation. It is a good thing
Fortunately we have lots of ways to circumvent censorship.
Revolt is the most promising alternative but I haven't seen anyone really use it.
