minus-squarevortic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 months agoWhen you say email aliases, what do you mean? A lot of services strip plusses from emails now, right?
minus-squaresleepmode@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 months agoNot sure. But Proton, Apple, passmail and some other providers have a way you can create email aliases on the fly that forward to your real address. I think Microsoft does too but it was limited last time I looked at it.
minus-squarevortic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 months agoThank you, I’ll look into options.
minus-squareNeatNit@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-23 months agoYou can use something like SimpleLogin to create email aliases that can’t be traced back to your real email address. Edit: other options are available, such as Firefox Relay which does exactly the same thing.
minus-squaredenkrishna@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 months agoI used to use Relay but they had gotten added to a couple of disposable email block lists and because of that started having issues with my accounts… Idk if SimpleLogin has that same issue or if there’s a way around the problem entirely
