I tried to use SimpleLogin.I did create the account but couldn't login after a day or so.

Same thing with Bluesky.

    I remember I used to have the same problem when I was using Proton Pass aliases.

    IIRC, by default Proton Pass uses the passmail.net alias. I fixed it by using another Proton Pass alias (I think it was the passmail.com one)

    I think there are some alternatives. People recommend Codeberg but I haven't used yet.

    They are really good. I use both Codeberg and their self-hosted solution Forgejo for my projects.

    But far-right people hate Codeberg for allowing for an example equal rights projects, they attacked Codeberg in February last year. And Codeberg gets DDoS attacks every now and then. The most recent attack was last month.

    Projects that are made by LGBTQ people or for those who are LGBTQ.

    I hate that so many script kiddies are far-right. I guess something with being 14?

    Being far-right does not indicates that person is a teenager. I know (not personally, but because they exists and you can read/hear about them) many far-right people who are above 20 years old (Trump as of one example). But that's for a whole other discussion (politic and religion).

    When I created a new account last year, I could use an alias at first. But then I couldn't invite people to projects because of some security concerns because of the alias. In the end, after talking to their tech support, I used a real email address. Really annoying :(

    I'm using an alias and it's working for me, maybe it's a recent change..

  • have you tried all the domain choices? i haven't tried with github lately but many sites will accept aliases if i use the more obscure domains like 8alias.* or slmail.* etc

    It blocks some alias domains but not aliases in general. I had to change from the default to one of the other three options when making my alias

    What do you even mean by an alias? Just an alternate email address? How can they tell?
