These lists are used by platforms to try and cut down on spam/bot account signups. This isn’t a thing done for signups by the vast majority of platforms out there, but the API verification steps IS becoming more prevalent I suppose. I just got rejected for using a Protonmail domain to buy something outright on a very popular pet supplies platform the other day, but…eh.
Comment on ProtonMail and SimpleLogin emails will be blocked from registering on websites

the discussion is happening here: github.com/7c/fakefilter/issues/73
Someone working on Proton have commented on the issue, the list maintainer wanted to take the discussion with proton private so we have only a few posts from them.
If you want my personal take:
It’s very clear how the list maintainer opposes anonymity in the internet in any form, which I see as an attack on freedom, journalism and activism.
I’m not a fan of Protonmail of any short and in fact I consider that their privacy is lacking… but I really hope they can talk some sense into this guy. This block list seems to be used by a lot of webs that will start blocking virtually every private email provider.

They’ll just lose my business and get a stern customer support email then. I don’t do business with companies that exclude Proton/Tutanota/Skiff emails.

Bro… You’re on Lemmy. What business?
kurwa@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yes, Lemmy users literally never spend any money, not once ever.

They’re not the maintainer.

I say that below
Edit: I assumed the person that posted the email list was a maintainer, but they don’t seem to have a “contributor” or “owner” badge

why would anyone ever be like this?
Rin@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Maybe a fed, corpo or authoritarian
pivot_root@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I was thinking the same. Would be mighty convenient for them if people had to switch to sellout mail providers because the alternatives are all blocked.
db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
This is not the list maintainer. Just a rando who opened a request

What do you consider to be a good privacy focused email solution that allows anonymity?
helenslunch@feddit.nl 11 months ago
They’re talking out their bum. It’s as private as any email service can be.
Caboose12000@lemmy.world 11 months ago
important to emphasize here that email is inherently not very private. Proton is one of the best email providers for privacy, but for this gs you really need to be private (eg organizing protests in less-than-friendly countries) you shouldn’t use email at all.
helenslunch@feddit.nl 11 months ago
Which is precisely why I said “as any email service can be”.

Nope. Refer the links below.

Yep. Find me a service provider that risks being arrested to deny lawful demands. I’ll wait.

If you look at what data they handed over you’ll realize this is a positive thing. You have verifiable proof that the contents of your mails is private, and you’re calling it a negative thing that they have your IP address??
hedgehog@ttrpg.network 11 months ago
Do you have articles showing Tutanota refusing to do the same?
AdamUllstrom@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I would love to know this too ☺️
RTRedreovic@feddit.ch 11 months ago
Try Tuta Mail
tsonfeir@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Germany vs Switzerland eh?
originalfrozenbanana@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Is addy.io any good? I’ve poked around a bit but not investigated deeply
micka190@lemmy.world 11 months ago
As a paying customer, it’s good if you want a burner email address that forwards to your actual email address. Not sure if they’re offering full blown mailing servers now, though. Pretty much does what I need it to do, personally.

That’s basically all I want as a mail edge
