Are there any reasonable privacy benefits for creating temporary accounts to make posts on Lemmy? (lemmy.world)

I noticed the other day that the majority of the content on !comicstrips@lemmy.world are made by accounts that are deleted after making some posts. Most often no comments are made by these burner accounts, but sometimes they will create a new separate account to respond to comments.

Is there any real privacy benefits for this over something like having a single separate account you post only images and no text posts?

Is there a tool that facilities creating short-term accounts like this?
