much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Wow. Something is actually being done to stop this. I'm shocked, and wish we had this kind of advocacy for human rights here in the USA.
One tip for ousting certain leaks is with gmail you can setup an email address like [email protected] you just have to forgo the login with google bit
I can imagine that spammers nowadays can write a simple script that drops everything from the + to the @, so while that may work for some spammers, others will just use your normal email address. I've resorted to creating a catchall for my personal domain. Also not ideal, but it'll hopefully take them a while to figure that one out for everyone using their own domain.
Some apps let you create an email account first then link socials/OAuth providers on top, so there's that. But other times it's indeed a good solution. Unless the site uses validation that doesn't allow for subaddress extension.
