“Email is invalid” says reddit whenever I use a temp email. I don’t want to use actual emails to make accounts

    I mean, if you make an account there, unless you’re being careful about it, it’s getting banned again in a week. The platform doesn’t allow casual banter. It’s very…sensitive, and not what we’d call a platform for freedom of speech.

    I have an account for my work and in our trade forum it’s infected with bots. All the posts are stupid questions to get users to generate content for AI tools. It’s become one big content farm and tbh, no one ever asked for or wanted this.

    Sorry you got downvoted.

    Alas, you’re not the first not last to be kicked off Reddit. The fact the platform is also taking aggressive measures to force a sign in should also tell you how bad the situation actually is.

    Anyway, welcome to Lemmy.

    If they’re only allowing well known providers, then you don’t have a choice. Just create a throwaway protonmail account and use that.

    “Accounts” lol I am no reddit lover but I’m not surprised they banned you. Maybe take a break, your relationship with the platform doesn’t sound healthy.

    You can’t anymore and even if you did, you will get shadowbanned instantly. There’s no way unless you use the well known ones, i guess proton works but not the aliases though.

        Looks like it from what I can see. Has paid subscription and advertisements as well.

        I’ll just stick with Lemmy thanks!
