I tried to use SimpleLogin.I did create the account but couldn’t login after a day or so.

Same thing with Bluesky.

I tried anon.li for the alias and it worked \o/ <img alt="74" src="https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/e059eeca-0abd-4a8f-9bd0-c24d2fea43c5.jpeg">

I’m using an alias and it’s working for me, maybe it’s a recent change..

fedd@lemmy.ml on 19 Apr 10:32 next collapse

I remember I used to have the same problem when I was using Proton Pass aliases.

IIRC, by default Proton Pass uses the passmail.net alias. I fixed it by using another Proton Pass alias (I think it was the passmail.com one)

alia@nord.pub on 19 Apr 12:50 next collapse

Is the alias on your own domain or a shared one?

flora_explora@beehaw.org on 19 Apr 13:09 next collapse

When I created a new account last year, I could use an alias at first. But then I couldn’t invite people to projects because of some security concerns because of the alias. In the end, after talking to their tech support, I used a real email address. Really annoying :(

Liketearsinrain@lemmy.ml on 19 Apr 14:05 next collapse

They shadow ban you for it. AFAIK it’s not documented anywhere, heard from support after noticing a single PR I opened missing (I didn’t use GitHub outside work).

flora_explora@beehaw.org on 19 Apr 14:55 next collapse

Yes exactly, I had to really convince the tech support that I’m a regular human without dubious interest to get the shadow ban lifted…

It will be less annoying when you just have to show ID to have your account unlocked

starblursd@lemmy.zip on 19 Apr 14:32 next collapse

It blocks some alias domains but not aliases in general. I had to change from the default to one of the other three options when making my alias

LedgeDrop@lemmy.zip on 19 Apr 14:39 collapse

Yeah, I’ve got a custom domain and have zero problems making github accounts.

technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 19 Apr 17:31 next collapse

Think there are some alternatives. People recommend Codeberg but I haven’t used yet.

airikr@lemmy.ml on 19 Apr 18:00 collapse

They are really good. I use both Codeberg and their self-hosted solution Forgejo for my projects.

But far-right people hate Codeberg for allowing for an example equal rights projects, they attacked Codeberg in February last year. And Codeberg gets DDoS attacks every now and then. The most recent attack was last month.

alexquiniou@lemmy.zip on 19 Apr 22:11 next collapse

What is equal right project ?

airikr@lemmy.ml on 19 Apr 22:20 collapse

Projects that are made by LGBTQ people or for those who are LGBTQ.

alexquiniou@lemmy.zip on 19 Apr 22:28 collapse

I mean, what kind of project is specifically made for LGBTQ people? I don’t know what makes them special.

airikr@lemmy.ml on 19 Apr 22:33 collapse

Aha. Unfortunately, I don’t know either, but what I do know is that Codeberg are a very open place to have your source code on.

Jankatarch@lemmy.world on 19 Apr 18:10 collapse

I hate that so many script kiddies are far-right.
I guess something with being 14?

airikr@lemmy.ml on 20 Apr 14:49 collapse

Being far-right does not indicates that person is a teenager. I know (not personally, but because they exists and you can read/hear about them) many far-right people who are above 20 years old (Trump as of one example). But that’s for a whole other discussion (politic and religion).

github shadow banned my account when I created it with an alias from simple login

Alfredolin@sopuli.xyz on 19 Apr 21:58 next collapse

Github shadowbanned me using an anonaddy alias. Made appeal, they told me to change the mail and not use an alias, even if I had 2FA, totp and phone number on that account. I guess I will not use github.

racoon@lemmy.ml on 19 Apr 22:07 collapse

I just changed my password to a random one

racoon@lemmy.ml on 19 Apr 22:07 collapse

same here. It must have been that or the HTML code that I posted. I have thus changed my password to a random sequence and I will delete my alias soon. I hate microslop and hate my employer for paying tribute to the Americans in this way as well

solrize@lemmy.ml on 19 Apr 19:40 next collapse

What do you even mean by an alias? Just an alternate email address? How can they tell?

Chais@sh.itjust.works on 19 Apr 22:31 next collapse

Likely a service like SimpleLogin or Addy.io

ghodawalaaman@programming.dev on 20 Apr 06:37 collapse

alias is basically having a dummy email address which will forward emails to your real email. so that way they wont know your real email and cant spy on you

racoon@lemmy.ml on 19 Apr 22:05 next collapse

github has flagged my account for daring to post a piece of HTML code for a read along website so I just changed my password to a random one

quickenparalysespunk@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 20 Apr 00:46 next collapse

have you tried all the domain choices? i haven’t tried with github lately but many sites will accept aliases if i use the more obscure domains like 8alias.* or slmail.* etc

Question, how do you feel about the gecko vs blink/chromium browser “wars” ?

umm, I want the gecko to win however the odds are against us

So you feel like taking a pragmatic approach might be more advisable?
