Each instance admin decides whether they require an email. Mine doesn't, but it's more important to choose an instance with admins you trust and not located in the US.

Don't use your real email regardless of instance.

Too late. Nobody told me. I thought they all required email. I might sign up for a different account if that isn't frowned upon.

Why does it matter if the instance is in the US? Just more susceptible to government pressure? Mine is in the US, as am I, I haven't seen any action from them, their whole thing is to be hands off which is why I chose them.
