The grocery store: "No, we need your real email address."

@elb that's going to have to work if I'm ever asked!

@jesse we have a regional chain that emails us coupons that we actually use/need, now that they've discontinued most paper communication (which is a mixed bag, obviously)
-
@vkc funniest part is when you have automatic aliases (or catchall, whatever), when company "foobar" asks for my email and I say "foobar@somedomain" they tend to not believe it works :)
@vkc @squalouJenkins ahaha same here!

"List all email addresses you've used over the last ten years"
lol, like many of us I've used services to generate unique emails for each account I use online. I have at least a thousand email addresses.
@vkc As someone that's been trying for over a year to transfer everything over to a new email, that sounds anxiety-inducing (though I'm happy it works for people who aren't me). Then it made me remember the way I made a new email address almost every other week as a teenager and...oh god...š¬

@vkc was this in person? Im shocked anyone cared but ya also it is a real email address... Iv been known to put aol@aol.com in to public wifi... So ya an email I can recieve messages at is as real as they would get...
@whitenight12 @vkc I've found that root@localhost often works..

@ryanc @stereo4x4 @squalouJenkins some places have started blocking the "+" character in addresses. I use a random email generator service so I can get around that for now, but I don't doubt some places will catch on to that as well.
@vkc qobuz blocks + as well as proton alias domains. They're still the lesser evil, I guess, but I really dislike this.

@vkc I use a catch-all on my domain, so my answer to that is always "yourcompanyname at halfacree.co.uk".
@ghalfacree @vkc yeah but is it yourcompanyname2022 or yourcompanyname2023? -

"Have you read a newspaper lately? What is even real anymore? But feel free to ask me anything about that domain, its MX record and the server it points to." -

@vkc @ryanc @stereo4x4 @squalouJenkins honestly I never understood how these even manage to work ā like, can't the malicious/spammy business accept the email and just trim off the part after + when sending spam to avoid getting identified? Maybe this trick is just not used widely enough for them to bother...
