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.

So a redirect instead of alias? E-mail alias is the address+alias@… thing.
Thats an extension
Yeah let’s say you got joe@protonmail.com, on simplelogin you can make a joe123@aleeas.com and now sign up for services using aleeas with those emails being forwarded to your protonmail

What was this feature called again… basically linking, right?
It’s called an email alias: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_alias
I thought that was a gmail specific thing.
It is, an email alias is a redirect. They’ve just been calling plus codes aliases and didn’t know they were mixed up.
