It's fine, whole comment section is kinda like that anyway, and + someone will probably find this recommendation useful nonetheless.

Thanks for recommendation. Tutanota does seem to be highly regarded privacy wise, however they technically don’t allow multiple emails for free [just like proton mail], according to their Terms and Conditions: https://tutanota.com/terms/

4.7. Each natural person is prohibited to sign up for more than one free of charge Tutanota account for private use. For additional accounts a paid tariff must be selected which allows adding aliases and user accounts.

See my comment under this comment about Proton Mail to see why this matters. (keeping the thread a bit more DRY (Don't repeat yourself) since I did a lot of repetitions here already).

I would like to know more about possible positive sides of required email address (like how much does it change stuff, etc), and see discussions of if people agree/disagree with having required email.

Thanks for recommendation. This sounds just like temporary email except public. It's good to know that lemmy.world allows you to simply remove an email without adding new one, but I wouldn't rely on that behavior (to exist in future), and new user (that considers signing up but didn't yet) may not know that that is even possible.

However, temporary email addresses and mailnator seem to contradict all the possible positive sides of required email address.

There probably just isn’t better “individual” approach than making email simply not required, simply because working around required email is already some “resistance”, whereas no required email is no “resistance”. By “individual” approach i mean that no required email approach is best if you consider it from view point of single individual, not considering the positive sides of required email.

Thanks for recommendation. That seems to be what's called an email aliasing service. If that is so, you still need to trust the email provider as well as pay for the iCloud service.

Thanks for recommendation. Email aliasing do solve some of the concerns, however they aren't the ultimate solution because many email aliasing services (firefox relay included) require payment for unlimited amount of aliases and not everyone can/wants to pay. As well as you still need to trust the email provider.

Thanks for recommendation. Indeed, email aliasing solves some of the concerns. You still also need to trust the email provider (mentioning just in case, because you didn't). Other issue is that SimpleLogin, and many other email aliasing services have limited amount of free aliases. SimpleLogin has 10 aliases for free, and unlimited amount for $30/year. Not everyone can/wants to pay so sadly this solution isn't ultimate.

Just a quick note, it's not 2.85% but 1/(36-9) = 1/27 ≈ 0.037 = 3.7%.

As a fun fact, larger boards like that were possible to create on that site (e.g. 30x30 with 898 mines) and some even had wins. Now I can't even search for them in "ranking".
