A community for Lemmy users interested in privacy
Rules:
I think you may be missing his real point: he’s asking people to stop sending anonymous non-attributed emails, as he deletes those.
I do the same; it’s not a proton/gmail/etc. thing, it’s a “did you say who you are in the mail” thing. He then points out that most of these anonymous messages are coming from protonmail/gmail accounts.
He’s essentially saying he doesn’t want anonymous tips/feedback. Nothing to do with the delivery service.
My email is [email protected] so it's not exactly anonymous.
Edit: My real email obviously has my actual name on it.
That seems about as anonymous as they come.
Naturally I don't include my real name in the example.
You aren’t filling me Mr. last name
You're gonna make him pull out? Lame.
That's funny, I have [email protected]
So it's your fault they had to add a period between firstname and lastname!
Now it's a race to get a good number like firstnamelastname69 or 112358.
The period is optional. Not using it or placing a period somewhere else and it still works. Also a +whatever before the @ works too. Easy to see who sold your data. [email protected] and every spam you get with the +facebook in the address is from data Facebook sold.
Edit: yeah, whatever happens, it is always my fault. Remember that.
That's just an example. My real email has my actual name on it.
Yeah mine too, but am not going to put my full name here. The joke was mine is almost the same, but we have different names (I guess) so they are completely different. But now I want [email protected]. By the way, did you know your email works without the dot too? Or when you add multiple dots? You can also add +sitename before the @ so you can see who sold your data. So, [email protected] works just as well as [email protected] and [email protected]
Edit: firstnamelastname@proton is already in use :'(
I was forced to do lastname.firstname since apparently my name is super common and every other variation was taken already with all of protonmail.com, pm.me, proton.me, etc.
What's this recent political drama?
One of the board members has been posting very pro-Trump nonsense.
Oh boy, gotta kiss the ring
Damn, well maybe I won't get a subscription now. I was migrating everything off Microsoft.
Not only did he post that, his opinion was then posted with the official account on reddit. Supposedly a miscommuniction between him and the media team 🤷
Technically, all eMail sent out from domains that you do not personally own are “anonymous”, or can be set up to not give out anything regarding your actual identity.
Hell, my parents were scammed out of being paid (it was redirected) by someone using a webmail address that looked like it came from my mother. She doesn’t even use eMail…
Dude needs to update to the latest Moodle. Looks less like a Geocities inspired html abortion.
a Geocities inspired html abortion.
🤣🤣🤣 F**k, that brought back memories…
I think its funny that he considers GMail "anonymous".
Dude probably uses AOL.
Some people are still stuck in the past. What can you do? 🤷 But if you're a registered student or faculty, you can send emails with the university's email, can't you?
