ProtonMail and SimpleLogin emails will be blocked from registering on websites
Hi! On this thread 7c/fakefilter#73 some random user asks to block ProtonMail and SimpleLogin email domains. This is really popular filter, so please, take measures! @mmso, @bartbutler, @Twikito
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
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!
Using a simplemail means you are bound to a provider, in this case ProtonMail.If you setup a custom domain you can ditch ProtonMail/Simplelogin duo domains and switch to a different provider whenever you want.
Oh yeah, this makes absolutely sense. I do use simplelogin only for things I don't really care about, but it is definitely a good point what you are saying.
I did the exact same thing.
When I saw Fastmail with aliasing features (beyond just using a catch-all with my domain) included in their $30/yr plan I couldn’t switch fast enough.
I guess Proton thinks they can rest on their name (which, admittedly, is a good one). But why pay for simplelogin + Proton when others do exactly what I need?
Could you please share the steps you took for this? I have an inkling , but not sure how to proceed. I m thinking of learning self hosting too, but can't right now due to reasons.
I bought the domain, set required domain records as per protonmail docs, waited for verification to complete and enabled catch-all thingy.
This is the way. I finally got around to setting this up a few months back.
