- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content

My local cinema locked my account after I changed my old GM for SimpleLogin. They told me I must use "non temporary or encrypted email" to log in.
That's not an allowlist though, SimpleLogin was on a denylist, possible because of high rates of spam. An allow list would be if they only allowed
@gmail.comfor example. If you have your own domain and set it up to use Proton Mail, you shouldn't have any problems.Well... More or less. They specifically told me that I needed a "public domain email" and that it couldn't be encrypted. I read their ToS and it wasn't written anywhere. They didn't sound like they were too tech savvy and I had to insist before I got that answer. They are most likely just a call center with a manual to follow.
What I bothered the most is that they allowed me to change the mail. The kept sending me (wanted) ads there and I could login into their site. They even kept charging my subscription. Until I tried to pay for extra tickets. That broke their system and got stuck. After that I couldn't even use the tickets I already had in my account from the subscription.
I'm not proud to admit that I finally caved and went back to my old mail for the moment. I even had to show them an ID (which at least partially defaced before) so that I could use the tickets I has already paid for
What ? Is that even legal for them to do so ?
Don't know. Probably. I'm not in the US or UE, our laws are still dealing with that new thing called Fax Machine
