Exactly! I add a random string to each email address, too, so you can’t just guess other addresses. So, it’s usually something similar to
lemmy-r4nd0m@mydomain.me. And, whenever a breach happens, I’ll generate a new random part and set that as my email address and invalidate the old one. Until the next breach. (Looking at you, LinkedIn…)That is clever!
