@sodiboo that's why i personally use e-mail aliases everywhere. they all come into my main inbox, but no one knows the original inbox.

@thing I do use email aliases kinda sorta but uh they're all predictable wildcard.

and this adversary seems to know that, inventing new email addresses that I've never given out, with identifiers like pog and kekw. they're laughing at me through the email address. lmao.

randomise the alias names, (as im the user part of email address) and keep what they correspond to somewhere safe :)

@thing yeah. I am now using an email provider which makes this trivial so that's my intent for the future. but historically, I haven't been doing that :)

@sodiboo @thing

This is why I am grateful for systemli having completely randomized alias handles instead of wildcardy ones.
