Thing is, any friends and family that click "accept" when an app asked for permission to see their address book will have accidentally released the "good" email.
I wonder whether there shouldn't just be "an email I can read out to people on the phone" and the rest are all random privacy/hash ones.
You could always give out a relay to your family and friends as well. Both Firefox relay and SimpleLogin have custom domains so you can give you mom an email address like [email protected]
Oh that's what I was looking for. Nice.
Email is fundamentally broken, we need to start over.
