Yeah that would be very difficult to implement safely, and probably wouldn’t be worth the effort since the Federated model means that signing up for an account somewhere on the Fediverse is much easier already.
Anonymous posting might have been a necessary evil on the early internet before you had all these Federated servers, but nowadays having other servers fills the role of granting easier access since you can sign up to another one where that process may be easier.
The only way of anonymously posting I could imagine on a federated image board would be to use an account on some other Fediverse platform (e.g. Mastodon, Firefish, Mbin, etc.) and to have the name of the account hidden for anonymous posts. That could maybe work, idk. Would be pretty cool tho
True, anonymous posting is very difficult to implement safely and would probably place a huge burden on volunteer Lemmy moderators.
