@EndlessMason @ErikvanStraten @malanalysis Cory Doctorow @pluralistic argued that hiding your email address from spambots is futile anyway so he doesn't worry when he publishes it regularly: theguardian.com/technology/201…

He needs a good spam filter technique though. Afaik he is still using the same email address.

Keeping an email address secret won't hide it from spambots

The spam wars aren't going away soon but treating public email addresses as secret is of no benefit

A good promo for #Thunderbird , it’s a very good email client. I use it as well (not that my use is any recommendation whatsoever next to Cory’s :)

@ErikvanStraten

If your adblock is good enough you always see the captchas, so you always know when a thing is cloud flair.

Also, who's not doing single use email addresses? Every site is a sea of spammy notification/cart abandonment/special offer/watch list/privacy policy update/m&a mail... And thats before they get pwned or sell your details.

Who wants all that in one mail box?

I already get a bitcoin scam call every 2 weeks because i enabled sms 2fa one place and scammers got hold of the number. At this point they know i know and they know i know that, but the guys on the phone have a call/hour quota and they gotta pay rent i guess...
