This is what Facebook does to verify accounts, they also autoban if you try to register with a temp email
What’s considered a temporary email? How do they know?
Proton mail has a feature where you can create a new address that ties to your main one, but nobody except proton knows it is you. They end in passmail.net. I'm sure there are other providers that do similar things
It's actually passinbox.com. The format is ${aliasName}.${randomWord}${random3DigitNumber}@passinbox.com Ex: lemmy.spaghetti198@passinbox.com
Cool. Thanks :)
Ohhhhhh, now I get why my account gets auto-deleted. Does Discord do that too ?
Because it makes sense
I believe so? I don't know it's been awhile since I've used Discord (I just went back to IRC). I know awhile ago when I had to use Discord I had issues signing back up with a temp email I created so perhaps.
They started recently yeah. I'm in some nsfw discords and they I'd you now
