Are there still any email providers that offer free anonymous registration? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Thanks for the info.

Also, it’s a classic case of “if something is free, then you are the product”

While I agree that it's sensical not to offer this, I think this statement is too broad. Protonmail didn't require any verification for quite some time, and tutamail used to allow using the free plan to sign up for services.

The issue I'm seeing with any free plans of email providers is that they either require an identifying verification, or don't allow the email to be used for services.

tutamail, for example, states that the free plan is not to be used to signup for services.

protonmail requires verification by email 'to prove you are human'.

Thank you

I think I've been a high functioning psychopath my entire life, and when I try to tell people about it, they tell me I'm in the middle of a manic episode and I don't know what I'm saying in c/mentalhealth@lemmy.world

Since you mentioned that you grew up with great parents, I could imagine that there are family members with whom you could talk about this. Which would probably be even better with an actual professional involved.
