Github vs. Email Aliases (lemmy.ml)

Github dislikes email "aliases" so much that they will shadow ban your otherwise normal activities for months, and once flagged, support will request not only a "valid" email domain but also that you remove the "alias" email from the account completely.

GitHub is owned by Microsoft and Microsoft also hates email aliases. May I recommend Port87. Microsoft and GitHub both accept the tagged addresses you use with Port87.

Looking at this Web page I end up on a wait list... Is there more somewhere?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I’ll send you an invite right now. The waitlist is temporary, but necessary right now. I need to know metrics for autoscaling capacity.

Thanks that's very nice of you! Let me know if I have to DM you my email or something else! I see that you're behind that project, nice to have you there

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

If you were on the waitlist, I’ve sent you an invite. :)

Thanks, I wasn't because I weren't sure on the best way to go, but I just joined now. Feel free to approve when you have time! Cheers
