Wait…. It’s Custard, not Carl
Folks, we need to learn to use aliases.
Fastmail has quite nice implementation of this, they call it "masked e-mail", but I bet there are many (perhaps under other names). (Disclaimer: I have no connection to FastMail other than I use their service and like it.)
I've learned to just create new masked email for every domain where i share e-mail -- legit or not. Then you can just disable the alias if it gets annoying. You can also reply to an e-mail you got to the alias without revealing your real address (as long as you do it from FastMail UI).
10 minute mail solves most of this.
I used to unironically enjoy skimming my spam folder for fun scams, but nowadays there are no fun scams, it’s all fake amazon gift cards, fake pharmacies, and fake iCloud and Cash App emails.
I miss the days where it felt like a sexy single was interested in me, purely by my email, or I had been singled out by royalty of some sort.
