Why would anyone use their real email on 4chan? I wouldn’t touch it without at least a proxy or two and a vpn.

You don't need an email at all to post on 4chan. You don't register to use 4chan or post on 4chan. The only logins are for staff. People are making up and spreading rumors that don't even know how 4chan works.

I haven't used 4chan since like 2008, so no idea how its changed.

I do remember a username/password mechanic but can't remember how it worked.
