My email is firstname.lastname@protonmail.com so it's not exactly anonymous.
Edit: My real email obviously has my actual name on it.
That seems about as anonymous as they come.
Naturally I don't include my real name in the example.
You aren’t filling me Mr. last name
You're gonna make him pull out? Lame.
That's funny, I have firstnamelastname@protonmail.com
So it's your fault they had to add a period between firstname and lastname!
Now it's a race to get a good number like firstnamelastname69 or 112358.
The period is optional. Not using it or placing a period somewhere else and it still works. Also a +whatever before the @ works too. Easy to see who sold your data. Firstnamelastname+facebook@proton.me and every spam you get with the +facebook in the address is from data Facebook sold.
Edit: yeah, whatever happens, it is always my fault. Remember that.
That's just an example. My real email has my actual name on it.
Yeah mine too, but am not going to put my full name here. The joke was mine is almost the same, but we have different names (I guess) so they are completely different. But now I want firstnamelastname@protonmail.com. By the way, did you know your email works without the dot too? Or when you add multiple dots? You can also add +sitename before the @ so you can see who sold your data. So, first.name.last.n.a.m.e+lemmy@protonmail.com works just as well as firstname.lastname@protonmail.com and firstnamelastname+lemmy@proton.me
Edit: firstnamelastname@proton is already in use :'(
I think you may be missing his real point: he’s asking people to stop sending anonymous non-attributed emails, as he deletes those.
I do the same; it’s not a proton/gmail/etc. thing, it’s a “did you say who you are in the mail” thing. He then points out that most of these anonymous messages are coming from protonmail/gmail accounts.
He’s essentially saying he doesn’t want anonymous tips/feedback. Nothing to do with the delivery service.
I think its funny that he considers GMail "anonymous".
Dude probably uses AOL.
What's this recent political drama?
One of the board members has been posting very pro-Trump nonsense.
Damn, well maybe I won't get a subscription now. I was migrating everything off Microsoft.
Not only did he post that, his opinion was then posted with the official account on reddit. Supposedly a miscommuniction between him and the media team 🤷

If you can't spell it, you're not an expert. And probably shouldn't be in Education as a provider.
Hell, I still use the original camel-cased convention that was used extensively in Web 1.0: eMail. Because that just makes a lot more sense to me. And it’s where a fair number of early names, like eBay, also came from.
