I was thinking of creating an anonymous ticketmaster account using public wifi since they block VPNs and just have them email me updates, but they required a phone number for the sign up so I scrapped that idea.

Edit: I decided to sign up for songkick as someone else here mentioned. It seems pretty polished and its entire purpose is concert discovery. It never asked for any unnecessary extra information either such as first and last name and phone number, just an email and a password and boom.

      Neither Reddit nor lemmy meet the actual requirements of social media.

      1. Knowing the people you are talking to. Both Reddit and lemmy are anonymous
      2. Status updates on some sort of timeline.

      Lemmy and Reddit are forums of forums, and if you want to get more specific they’re link aggregators. Nobody ever called the car forum you visited to ask for car help “social media” because it wasn’t and still isn’t. Same applies to lemmy and Reddit.
