A bit of a bummer that there is a loginwall. It says free registered users can read this but I'm tired of giving my email and privacy away.

I understand that they need revenue, but posting this on Lemmy without the text or an archived link to full post is just asking for --I read only the title and am gonna form opinions--

Thanks for that link! I love that they put a whole article up explaining why. Quite transparent.

For what it's worth after I gave them my email, either they didn't send me anything, or they did but they honored my unsubscribe request, and I can read all the articles.

I use a specific email account just for these logins. And a password manager.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

Very good practices and yeah password manager is a must!

I do also have a throwaway email and I really appreciate people posting news to lemmy, don't get me wrong, but making an account to every news site appearing on lemmy and logging in everytime (because of clearing browser cookies / sessions) is a bit tedious.

Not saying this needs to change (it is my laziness in the end) and again, really appreciate people posting on lemmy. Just wanted to comment out my frustrations about the loginwall.

I use Proton's SimpleLogin which is very handy for things like this. I used to use DuckDuckGo's Email Protection which is free. SimpleLogin is however more powerful imo.

Both services allow you to just create a new email address whenever you need one and it forwards to your real one.

I create new emails on the fly with 33mail.com, using the website's domain as in lemmy@.33mail.com
