Github dislikes email "aliases" so much that they will shadow ban your otherwise normal activities for months, and once flagged, support will request not only a "valid" email domain but also that you remove the "alias" email from the account completely.

@Atemu

Same reasons used by #iphone, #mac, #microsoft, #facebook, #twitter, #reddit, etc. users.

But here we are, people using #pinephone, #linux, #mastodon, #lemmy, etc.

Yeah, they're gatekeepers. We know. Even EU regulators have noticed and are finally making baby steps on cracking down on them.

Though just as with Twitter and Reddit, we need a resilient decentral OSS alternative for this to work. That's in the works as we speak but it's not here yet. It's like trying to give up Reddit 3 years a go; there was no viable alternative.
