I’m still in disbelief having heard this for the first time today.

    Grrr! I remember that! It really sucks.

    I’m slowly migrating to ProtonMail, but I have so many accounts, it’s kind of painful. I wish I hadn’t been so keen on making new accounts for every little thing over the years.

      I’m actually quite pleased with what I’ve ended up with now. One of the features of the Postfix / Dovecot server I’m running now is that I have recipient delimiters - for example, if my email is hiding@aussie.zone, I can sign up for Mastodon with hiding+mastodon@aussie.zone, and everything they send me will be automatically filed into the Mastodon folder in my account. Additionally, I know exactly who is selling my data this way. It’s a great system and avoids the unfortunate predicament you currently find yourself in!

      That’s the best part of Proton+SimpleLogin. I use a “different email” for every account for which I sign up. This allows me to know exactly who sells my info and who doesn’t, by which address starts to get spammed.

        Yeeees!!! I found out through here a few days ago that SimpleLogin existed and is teamed with Proton.

        Up until recently, I had been using spamgourmet.
