I tried a bunch of ways to signup anon; first I tried to use maildrop.cc but the email conform never came through but there was no error message saying that maildrop is not accepted.

I also tried a few other ways, but eventually used onionmail.

My username comes from fantasy name generator; and all was done via the tor browser, running on Linux.

What is the opinion of the crowd on onionmail and torbrowser in general?

What are you trying to do?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Just trying to keep this ID separate from my regular ID.

Nothing too dodgy, DL a book or two and get some movies. I'm too busy and not interested in the really dodgy stuff.

But I am very interested in the right to privacy and how we as a society have effectively given it up for the convenience of online shopping.

You can just use protonmail + simplelogin then. Way easier and incredibly convenient

I use duck.com randomized alias emails for some random accounts that require email. Works similar to simplelogin, I guess.
