how tf did I just find out about this: 🤯

Stay Curious // iixii // Lazer Technologies // Prev: CoinDesk, Roc Nation // based

you can do this with most email servers. But be warned that some signups won't let you use a +.

I used to use this for when I signed up for a product, like:

username+somesite.tld@myemail.whatever

so if they ever sold my email to spammers, I could see who did it.

Now I just have my own domain.

Blockchain developer, scraping and smart contracts.

i like coffee, crypto, animals, plants, drones, 3D printing, midjourney, and stickers

I own my own domain and everything sent to it goes to the same inbox. So when I sign up for a site I just use:

whatever.tld@mydomain.tld

works great. or you could obfuscate it somehow, it all goes to the same inbox.

yeah but this was trivial to scrape the emails without the characters after the +  20 years ago, any software worth a lick would just bypass this. apple has HIDEMYEMAIL now that works better for privacy , but not for remembering which email you used for which account (that's the only thing better using the + method)
