Casual privacy is blinds in my window at night so passer-byes can't see in - and casually invade my privacy.
What casual privacy isn't, is a foolproof cage around my data...
I think at the very least, Lemmy needs to have better support for multiple alt accounts.
We don’t have a RES like equivalent yet, but at least the mobile apps are getting there. I miss Reddit Boost’s ability to hit comment and then pick an account to comment from.
It does, especially on foreign instances since they (supposedly) can’t see the IP addresses
But I think a balance is necessary. Some people will NEED privacy if they want to talk about things that they could get in trouble for (with work, school, or an authoritarian government). I had alts for lots of stuff on Reddit, like if I had a medical issue that was identifiable, or if I wanted to share some creative work I did. Others might need it to talk about their views on religion, their sexuality, or about friends/family.
The apps too, but it would be nice if the default UI supported it. Similarly, they don’t support having multiple accounts tied to the same email address (and I don’t think they’re going to do it anytime soon)

…and then switch to this instance without even leaving the page. It’s smooth as hell.
Liftoff handles this amazingly. I can comment from this account…
that just makes spamming, vote manipulation, astroturfing, brigading, more easier.

I don’t see how lemmy would have better support, I suppose you mean the apps
