SEO has essentially destroyed search engines, what are some very useful websites that you might not get given by Google?

    Google doesn’t even factor into this. Go to your registrar of choice (namecheap, etc), buy a domain, and setup that domain to forward all emails to your email address.

    So if you have abraxas@gmail.com and you just bought abraxas.me, in namecheap you can setup *@abraxas.me to go to your gmail account, and then sign up for sites using whatever@abraxas.me you want. There’s no + or - involved, use any word you want. Signing up for lemmy.world? lemmyworld@abraxas.me will go right to your gmail (or whatever email you use)

      Fair point. That is free. I guess it would boil down to what the mail categorization would look like in this guy’s service. I will say I thought it was odd that it isn’t just mail middleware with the guy struggling with having to build his IMAP in node.js.

        indeed. It comes in as reallyshadywebsite@squidspinachfootball.xyz, so not only can you easily filter/label them, but you can immediately tell who had a security breach and/or sold your email.
