I don't have ONE email address, I have hundreds. I use a unique email address and password for everything i sign up for. I use a custom domain, and use steam@mydomain.com, or lemmy.vg@mydomain.com etc. so even if one of those sites are breached, all they get is one email and one unique password.

I use thepresident@whitehouse.gov. The only website I've found that won't take this address is quiznos wifi
huh, i'd try potus at whatever dot shit i'm taking more energy avoiding typing that but spite is one hell of a motivator. might work.
or a.scalia at scotus dot gov i'm pretty sure that one is real
It's in my contacts so Gboard brings it up as a suggestion after writing the.
You know how you set up junk mail accounts? I feel like that one is set up for kooks and the other one is set up for work. But I'm not sure which is which anymore.
Also, you easily know the source of the breach.
I used to live like a savage with everything tied to one email, and had a few regular spam shields. Damned fool small smooth brain idiot way of living!
I don't know why I didn't do a custom domain 10 years ago. The level of security buffering it offers is worth every penny alone. Someone gets aggressively spammy? Fine, I'll delete the fucking email address, enjoy the bounceback, dicks. Every breach reinforces the idea that this is a good call, giving data leaks worthless garbage. It genuinely gives me a feeling of freedom.
Doesn't everyone have a shit email they use for porn and other dodgy stuff?
Yeah, a dead one that literally doesn’t function anymore. If they “require confirmation” then I no longer need to read whatever is being gatekept.
Also, 90% of the time, a@b.com works.
Also, 90% of the time, a@b.com works.
I'm always amused how often fuck@you.com works
I feel bad for whoever owns you.com
Seems like it would be an innocent new agey spiritual affirmation kind of site. Actually, it’s probably some bullshit, so never mind.
if i owned Fuck at you dot com i'd keep it set up for spam just for that reason.
but i have my own private spam email addresses. like three of them, for different identities.
10 Minute E-Mails are the best, you can confirm it exists, and they don't get any (usable) data
Sort of. I have a "catch-all" address (that's just the most legit looking result to a search for the phrase, I won't vouch for whether it's a good site). Basically anything@domain.com goes to spam@domain.com. It's a bit awkward if you need to respond, but otherwise, it's good for signing up to sites and it makes it easy to filter out ones that spam you and don't provide a good unsubscribe link.
psst, if you have a catchall like that, you can probably SEND from anything@yourdomain.com too! We sure can.
You just need a client that lets you type in the From field. Some do, some don't.

Yeah, it's my gmail address.
My old hotmail gets all that stuff. Awhile back they added some stuff to automatically keep it clean-ish, mainly the sweep feature. Plus I have addy.io that forwards a bunch of stuff to it.
Like the Times.
I have two!
Ugh, yeah. I got gifted an article and now they won't leave me alone. I can't get off their email list without giving them my email that they already have so I can make an account with them I don't want so I can get off the email list I'm already on. FFS man
Click 'Report Spam'
Yeah, that shit would get auto-filtered straight into the spam folder.
Report every post they send you. It will be their problem eventually.
I thought the US had some law about unsubscribing within two clicks r something?
I always make up an email address. fakename@fakedomain.com. If they require a confirmation, I use a forwarder and forward to a yahoo account that I never use and has all fake profile info. Fake name, fake birthday, fake profile pic. I log in maybe twice per year and delete everything.
Ahhhhh, good idea. A burner trash email.with fake details. I don't know why I didn't think of that.
10 Minute E-Mails are your friend.
sadly more and more sites are rejecting many of the easily accessible mail forwarders and temp email services.
Guerillamail.com
Forwards to adscheaper.com
fuck the times
what's wrong with the times?
Billionaire owner caters to bullshit ideals in their opinion pieces all the time. Lots of great journalists work for them and The Athletic though.
which billionaires? what's the athletic?
They're dogshit lol
They were founded as a reaction to the other big paper's european correspondent being sorta communist.
Theyve only gotten more reactionary since.
what's a good alternative?
For the puzzles? I have a sudoku app on my phone im quite fond of.
i heard committing sudoku is a sin
Lmao they never consider that you have like. 5 emails.
What a fucking concept.
Use the element zapper mode in uBlock Origin. Makes the shit go away
Except for when the text isn't actually loaded underneath and you only get like an extra paragraph at most.
Yeah, happens to me too. Sometimes it works and sometimes it won't. Just have to keep trying. Or use SimpleLogin or Addy for email aliases
