Piefed admin here, afaik there's no way to make emails optional on our side. Closest thing we can do is make verifying them not necessary.

The spammers would love you for that.

And I love them, too

So I should be able to just enter email@example.com as my email address? How can I tell whether or not a given instance requires verification?

PieFed dev here.

Yes, you can use an email address like that, if someone else hasn't already.

There is no way to tell. I don't want to make it easier for spammers & trolls to find instances that are easy targets.

On instances that require verification you can use a disposable email address generator site but admins will get a warning about that next to your application (if they are doing applications). If they trust you for some other reason then you'll be approved anyway.

Just use https://www.fakemailgenerator.com/ or some other service like that.
