@PhenomX6 Any Fedi instance: "we need your username, password, and email address (some instances don't require verification though)".
Shitter: "we need your username, password, email address, phone number, country, 2FA doxxing material, gender, and soon we'll require you to see your government (digital) ID too"

So yes, Fedi has far less friction on sign up than Shitter.
