It appears that my email has gotten in the hands of some scammers with a botnet or something. What do I do?
  • Fair, just saying i havent had issues with sites, might be europe specific.

    If you are bored or a nagging ass like me, you could remind those websites that the rfc (which is the standard for email) expicitly allows plus in emails and they need to allow that.

  • Lemmy total number of users last month (very close to 1.5 M users)
  • I like lemmy. I spend maybe an hour a day scrolling so enough content. i am happy there isnt more cuz i would spend more time here then.

    Only thing missing is a lot of niches in all kind of categories, be that gaming specific subs or what the internet is rly made for.

  • You don't even need a custom domain to do this. Google, Ms and many others support aliases with a plus (+) sign in the recipient adress.

    so if you got john@gmail.com you can freely create new aliases like john+ea@gmail.com, john+amazon@gmail.com and they will all land at john@gmail.com

    If your address gets leaked, you can just block emails to that recipient.

    I've done this for most of my accounts and it works great.
