Lately we have been dealing with a few abusive members from Feddit.nl and we were unable to get in touch with the instance administrator.

Part of the problem is the instance's open registrations which do not require you to enter an e-mail address during signup. This in combination with an inactive admin is a recipe for abuse.

We hope this is only temporary but we have to do this to protect our users.

Edit: we use fediseer, have a look https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.world

Edit 2: We got in touch with the Feddit.nl admin. Email requirements were added to the sign-up process and we're setting up a communication channel. So that means we are federating with Feddit.nl again!

How is this even a thing? Why would the Lemmy software even allow operation like this?

Back when I signed up for reddit, you didn't need an email and they warned you if you lost your password you'd be locked out of your account until you regained it and they would not offer support to reset it

I liked that. I don't want to have to submit my email for everything just to interact

One of the reasons I have my own email domain and random email addresses for certain services.

Catch all? I love it so damn much since I got it. Bitwarden added it on the fly and now I got disposable email addresses for anything I can think of, it's so, so perfect!

[-] palitu@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

hmmm... i may need to buy bitwarden... i currently self-host, but that sounds very tempting!

[-] Dopeness@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

No need. Even selfhost is free. The catch all feature is also included in the free plan. Bitwarden free is amazingly packed with pretty much all the features you need. Tip: Make a 'non-profit' organisation and invite your family to it. You can share passwords for streaming service etc using this.

Hi, is this only for the web interface or something? Is this available for the android interface?

[-] ohmyiv@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

You can access it from the android Bitwarden app. Go to the password generator. Where it says "What would you like to generate?", tap Password and select username in the popup, then click OK. After that, it gives you an option to use a different emails when it generates the email address to use for the account you're setting up.

Managing this for a large amount of services is a huge overhead for me. I use Sub-addressing and then apply filters based on categories.

[-] dpkonofa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It annoys the shit out of me how many developers don’t allow for sub-addressing. Google has supported it on Gmail since inception and it follows the damn spec! Don’t use your crappy form validator if it doesn’t allow valid emails!

[-] Copernican@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I've always been curious. Do any parties just remove the string between "+" and "@" when they see those emails registered?

[-] dpkonofa@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Not that I’ve seen. Some do however incorrectly escape the string and end up with an invalid email like namesite.com@gmail.com instead of name+site.com@gmail.com.

[-] IdleSheep@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If you have catch all enabled for your custom domain there's basically no overhead.

Signing up for reddit? Just put reddit@example.com and that address will be automatically created and start receiving reddit's emails. Don't have to fiddle with anything.

I like this.

I use legacy free g suite, might see if it supports this

[-] jcg@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I do this as well but there's been quite a few times when the email input wouldn't accept it and it's usually on the sites you really wanna have it on.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I was dumb founded to find out that vrchat doesn't except ProtonMail. I had to use my mothballed gmail account.

[-] Dopeness@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Got a domain? Setup 'catch all' and you are all set. If not consider a cheap one. It's unlimited disposable email addresses for few buck a year.

[-] cyberpunk007@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Interesting. How does this work? I've never used it. I either add manual aliases or distribution groups. It's a pain in the ass but it works and is safer than using the same email for everything.

One thing I like is also how you can tell who sold your email to spammers 🤣

[-] ttmrichter@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

And then there's those of us who don't use email for all practical purposes. I haven't sent an email in anger for a donkey's age; the only reason I have an email at all is because of all the people in North America who think email is the wave of the future.
