This makes me 😭

UPDATE: Thanks @nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de for this update: The issue has now been commented on and was closed by the maintainer, where they explained why those blocks would be nonsense. But it appears the OP wants to still talk with maintainer privately about it.

That's why I have setup a custom domain and catch all so I can create aliases on the fly. Was huge fan of simplelogin until I did a though experiment about ditching proton mail. I will not pay for email aliases.

I am not sure I understood your comment. I am using protonmail (ultimate) and they do have free simplelogin integration (I think proton bought SL). Definitely catchall is my way to go for reputable sites, but SL is great for trash "register once" sites so that I don't even disclose my domain!

The issuer is just a random GitHub user. Keep pushing back the PR.

Hard for me to understand how blocking valid email providers like Proton, Tutanota, and Skiff, would actually mitigate any abuse. All it's going to do is hurt the websites with this filter and prevent privacy-minded folks from signing up. Unfortunate to see, hopefully they get some common sense and don't block these for no reason.

That’s…a good portion of the free email providers on the planet. Even if companies are using this list as a filter for signups, it’s only going to be for a limited time.

Companies want new accounts. They don’t mind very much if those accounts are fake - big numbers get investor attention. It only takes a handful of support cases with “I tried to register but it says my email address isn’t allowed” before the C-suite makes it clear to IT that this filter is no longer in sync with the corporate strategy.

I know I gotta receive some slack for this, actually all my temps emails are outlook ones, they do not require a phone number and I can redirect all traffic to my main one easily and sort it there with rules.

Can someone please explain to me why they can't create the account even if it is used as disposable? Storing one text file with the login on their side does not cost much storage at all.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 5 points 2 years ago

Because they want to sell it and spam it.
