This makes me 😭

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.

I wonder what happens when they find out that you can do my.name+alias@gmail.com

on both his issues he tries to contact the author of the repo to discuss some change that's too sensitive to talk about openly, lol

To be fair that's quite easy to check with a simple regex, you can see that in many services that have cached up to that.

That one is not anonymous at all and it’s super easy to extract the “real” email for advertising and spam purposes if you wish to do so

Looks like you can even do this with iCloud accounts. They only let you have 3 at a time, but you can delete them whenever and create more as needed.
