This makes me 😭
UPDATE: Thanks @nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de for this update: The issue has now been commented on and was closed by the maintainer, where they explained why those blocks would be nonsense. But it appears the OP wants to still talk with maintainer privately about it.
this is someone probably <13
“RobloxPianoAutoplayer” “Anime-Clicker-Simulator-GUI”
what??
also their “Guardian V2” repo
Q: What is Guardian V2?
A: Guardian V2 is a side project of mine. Its purpose is to protect users from game/user-made malicious functions/scripts. It is highly customizeable
jeepers weepers man isn’t it so cool to have their anti-cheat so customizeable??
He deleted his account lmao
holy shit really? looks like there’s hope after all

Funny, considering I’ve moved over to a paid proton account as my primary email, and my former primary email/Gmail account, with its ability to instantly become infinitely many disposable email addresses, is now used as exactly that. This same procedure occured many years ago, when I made my yahoo email into the disposable junk mail home, and my shiny new Gmail became my primary. I wonder how many years it be until proton becomes my disposable, and some as-of-yet to be created service becomes my new primary email. Or maybe email will finally be dead by then, and we’ll use something else entirely.
I will say, even after all of these years, and using the living shit out of my Gmail account in many, many places, I still only get two or three spam emails at most during the entire year.
Same, gmail now means garbage mail and only acts as a filter for my Protonmail now.
No, you very likely get way more than that, they’re just filtered out.
This. I get tons, but almost none of them actually hit my inbox.
Wouldn’t OP see them in the Spam folder? If they say they get 2 spam messages they probably mean that.
Yep, mail to the spam folder is what I mean.

OK simplelogin you can make an argument there, very stupid one though.
But protonmail and tutanota, wtf ?!?
Just because an email provider is privacy focused and offers custom aliases means all it’s emails are spam ?
Fuck this shit.
I wonder what happens when they find out that you can do my.name+alias@gmail.com

To be fair that’s quite easy to check with a simple regex, you can see that in many services that have cached up to that.
Looks like you can even do this with iCloud accounts. They only let you have 3 at a time, but you can delete them whenever and create more as needed.

they seem to have it “covered”
on both his issues he tries to contact the author of the repo to discuss some change that’s too sensitive to talk about openly, lol
Advertisers aren’t interested in your privacy. Simple as.
Do keep in mind, it seems like protonmail is considered a whitelisted domain in the eyes of lead that’s running that project. I say this because if you go under the issues page of it and then select the whitelist issue which is the issue that he uses to keep track of every domain that will not be blacklisted, protonmail appears there. That being said the others don’t appear.
I love how dense OP was that he didn’t even acknowledge the white-list and was acting like he was the authority (or the sheriff) on this topic, with nothing to back him up whatsoever.
Based on this other issue by the same user, I think there’s no cause for concern that the dev will actually blacklist PM/SL: https://github.com/7c/fakefilter/issues/69
Anyone working with GitHub probably knows that it’d be lunacy to just act upon every issue/PR that people come up with.
Looks like someone noticed the PR and panicked. Then people someone crossposted here and people picked up the pitchforks a bit too early.
🔱🔱🔱 who are we going up against today 😄
Power Users: Block all emails that aren’t Gmail or Outlook!
Also Power Users: Why are Google and Microsoft monopolies!?
From 2018, I have been using fake emails for signup on websites that I am sure I wouldn’t be using again.
In rare occasion that I do keep using the website, I change it to one of my ‘useful’ mails. This has kept so much spam at bay for me.

as someone who uses protonamil as my main email, this is very disappointing
Damn, that guy’s fucking dumb lmao
But also, is 7c/fakefilter even popular? It seems to barely have a following on GitHub to begin with. Seems pretty over the top to claim that PM and SL (and any other provider on that list) will get blocked from registering on websites.
And reading the project description the domains aren’t even added manually. So the whole issue isn’t needed at all. Might explain why it’s been there since October.
The npm package has about 4000 weekly downloads. I don’t know what that means in terms of popularity.
I know it probably predates String.prototype.padStart(), but it boggles my mind that people aren’t just using the standard one.
He’s not dumb, he’s extorting people who will probably pay him.
Nobody’s going to pay some random idiot who opened a ticket on a repo they aren’t even a contributer on.
I’m really not a fan of heavy-handed approaches like this. I understand why most of the listed domains are on the proposed blocklist, but Tutanota and Proton are the two most common private email options. Rambler is a Russian news aggregate, so I’m not sure why that’s in the list, politics aside
I’ve seen random surges in emails from Rambler.
If that’s the case, they should also block Gmail.
They did, the maintainer commented that they weren’t going to add Gmail and proton mail.
I don’t understand, what’s happening? Blocked where?
Nothing is happening, some kid was making requests that were entirely ignored until lemmy jumped in. I cried when they said that they preferred discord to email for official communication.
Is the creator even a kid? I find it hard to believe a kid would give that much of a shit about email spam lists. But, then again, nearly half his repositories are forks or involve Roblox.
The creator is a chad
I thought that bit was hysterical.
“Tell me you’ve never been employed before without telling me.”
“I prefer discord for business communication.”
Yeah, not being able to keep track of email was a weak fucking excuse.
Yeah, they should have pushed back and said “Nope, email is the only method we will conduct professional communications over.”
Some random email filter project.
Oh well shit if I care, I loathe email anyway. Please block me 😂
Yeap 83 businesses are my clients. If they do this ,guess they will never receive my email. Poor IT support of all the businesses. RIP
It would be a poor IT department if they just blindly implemented a block list that had been handed to them and allowed that block list to be updated regularly with no oversight as to what was changing.
Not to say there aren’t companies that do that, because there are plenty…
Well there wouldn’t be a company for very long if they’re blocking potential customers
