I think the value here is to add an extra layer of disconnect between me, the person and me, the lemmy user.
Someone can easily profile me, the lemmy user’s profile; but no one in real life needs to know me, the person, have a separate private lemmy account used for less than above the belt content. Having an extra layer of authentication doesn’t guarantee it, but makes it harder for someone to swipe my phone and poke into that.
