Hi,

I wanted to contact the owner/administrator of a website. Unfortunately, they didn't provide any means of contact ( email, phone number, online form, simpleX whatsoever).

So the only alternative that I had thought was to create a Mastodon account and publish an open communication with them tagged. ( who know with a bit of luck. )

Unfortunately, to create a Mastodon account, you have to provide an email 📧 address 😞 The problem with email address is that it can be correlated to track you down and more.. there are so many examples online, I will not cover this here.

So the workaround is to create a new email address dedicated just for that usage or service. But it's becoming merely impossible to create a free email account somewhere without giving up your identity. (phone number, ISP[^1] email address, paying online with Fiat[^2] , Cloudflare or whatever trick )

I've seen already few posts about this subject on lemmy and other platforms

some quote from those links

Like it or not, email is a critical part of our digital lives. It’s how we sign up for accounts, get notifications, and communicate with a wide range of entities online. Critics of email rightfully point out that email suffers from a significant number of flaws that make it less than ideal, but that doesn’t change the current reality. In light of that reality, I believe that an encrypted email provider is a must-have for everyone in today’s age of rampant data breaches, insider threats, warrantless police access, and targeted advertising.

All the providers listed around the WWW are wrong ! Either they ask to identify yourself, or if you use Tor, you are blocked, or you cannot use it to register to any service online (third party).

See the table below \

Do not hesitate to propose any other, or maybe you have another solution ? Like self hosting email service ? I already dig up a little bit, but I found this and it looks scary. Thank you GAFAM...

So maybe it doesn't look like much? But actually, it's blocking me more and more. I cannot move/interact on internet or in real life ! because I get often "You have to register online" and that registration come with mandatory email..

Where I live, you better stay anonymous. Because what you say can definitely strike back to you. There is no freedom of speech. Please help to make internet free again.

Because we need it in our daily life and social interactions...

Thanks
