    They let you create subaddresses though. From https://disroot.org/services/email:

    The plus sign ("+") can be used as a delimiter in your email address to create sub-addresses, e.g. [email protected]. This can be used, for instance, to filter and track spam.

  • some of these recommendations come from the same circle as autistici... not that i hope the same fate befalls them as it did autistici, but my warning stands: avoid political internet service providers, no matter which side they are on.

    yeah, but + addressing doesn't really mask the real address like an alias does.

    Everything is political though. Privacy itself is political. Politics that align with the government usually don't count as "politics", so if you avoid "political" providers that leaves you with "non-political" providers that track everything you do and build profiles on you.

    ...and i bet even these providers create profiles. some of them even advertise that they don't want users who hold opposing political views. and how do these political providers verify people's political views? they cant read peoples minds, after all. so that probably leaves only primitive solutions -> scanning and monitoring emails.

    The same way that Codeberg detects if someone is vibecoding: don't worry, they'll tell you.

    A/I supposedly had a textbox asking you whether black lives matter. If you answer "yes, all lives matter" then you don't get to have an account.
