    Good if you selfhost, but on their site, they’ll ban you if you create multiple accounts for the same website. How many? we don’t know, but anonymous, it is not. They’re scanning emails, just like Google.

    I would want to sign up for Lemmy I would just type “lemmy@my_name.addy.io” in the email form. Now all mails to this address get forwarded to my real email address without Lemmy knowing it. I think this has a lot of benefits

    All the spammers need to do is use your @my-name.addy.io to check where else you’ve signed up (through hacked data sets) or send more spam. And arent the emails you can forward to very limited (1 I think?). That just beats the purpose of aliases.

    Hmm after reading through the post, are you posting this because you just learned about it or this is their marketing speaking?

    So just use a cheap custom domain with wildcard email forwarding or services that have conditional forwarding instead of adding 1 more layer that could fail you.
