I would be cautious about viewing any Lemmy.world communities right now, and the Beehaw admins should make sure their credentials are locked down in case they get targeted next.

There IS one major problem. Many accounts only have optional email attached for .world, mine included. I think that means compromised credentials are a massive problem.

I'm going to shill for https://simplelogin.io here. Any other aliasing service will do, too. SL is just the one that I use. Email aliases are game changing.

Isn't that a subscription service thing though?

They do have a free plan. But would you trust any privacy service that didn't charge? Server time isn't free, so they are monetizing you somehow if they aren't charging you.
