I lurked as a Fandom User for over a year. I did so for two reasons: privacy and a desire to avoid confrontation. I know you can see my IP address, but if someone hacks the user list, they get my email address and any other personal identity information I had to divulge, which they can sell. And generally, I am totally exhausted and frustrated with having to give information about myself in order to gain entry into places in the internet or access information. But mostly, when I first started reading, I did not feel like this was a safe place for newcomers to add their opinions. I felt like I had nothing to offer. There were a few dominant posters very committed to their opinions and style of play. They aren’t posting here now. The wiki seems calmer and friendlier now.
