Is this going to be the response every time this shit happens until we're all just sitting on Lemmy twiddling our thumbs? The arrogance feels like it's downplaying the seriousness of the problem, and it's annoying to see it recited so much.
In a lot of cases, you may not have a choice of using the site or not. In cases where you do have a choice, eventually most if not all the alternatives can do the same shit if it becomes normalized.
API is letting these types of filter lists become shared easily, too. Sites may not even make a conscious decision to filter out proton, it may just happen because their filters are pulling from lists like this.
The problem is the trend. And try as you may, you can not fully escape that.
Well sometimes those websites ask you to register because you are buying something so they will loose me as a customer. Also even if I complain most companies dont care about privacy so I prefer to use my wallet as a way for this companies to listen my voice.
Use a custom domain on Protonmail (which includes Simplelogin) and you won't have any issues. It's a grand total of $5 per year for the domain.
Use a temporary email every time you use the website. Clog their mailing lists full of garbage. Make their metrics lie to them
