This makes me ๐Ÿ˜ญ

UPDATE: Thanks @nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de for this update: The issue has now been commented on and was closed by the maintainer, where they explained why those blocks would be nonsense. But it appears the OP wants to still talk with maintainer privately about it.

That's why I have setup a custom domain and catch all so I can create aliases on the fly. Was huge fan of simplelogin until I did a though experiment about ditching proton mail. I will not pay for email aliases.

    I am not sure I understood your comment. I am using protonmail (ultimate) and they do have free simplelogin integration (I think proton bought SL). Definitely catchall is my way to go for reputable sites, but SL is great for trash "register once" sites so that I don't even disclose my domain!

    Using a simplemail means you are bound to a provider, in this case ProtonMail.If you setup a custom domain you can ditch ProtonMail/Simplelogin duo domains and switch to a different provider whenever you want.

    I did the exact same thing.

    When I saw Fastmail with aliasing features (beyond just using a catch-all with my domain) included in their $30/yr plan I couldnโ€™t switch fast enough.

    I guess Proton thinks they can rest on their name (which, admittedly, is a good one). But why pay for simplelogin + Proton when others do exactly what I need?

    Could you please share the steps you took for this? I have an inkling , but not sure how to proceed. I m thinking of learning self hosting too, but can't right now due to reasons.
