Thanks for your comment and for sharing this lovely story, @themactep.
Indeed, I found it quite annoying to have to keep multiple emails and pseudonyms for my presence on the web. At the same time, I understand why some people decide to do it. Trying to find my sweet spot here.

I suggest creating a forwarding account at one of these services:
* 33mail.com
* erine.email
* anonaddy.com
* simplelogin.eu
* burnermail.io
and create an email account that you share with no one except one of the services above. Then you can create countless aliases. If you're involved with 100 different unrelated activities, you can have a different address for each w/out the burden of managing 100 email accounts.
@pamaca @themactep@fosstodon.org @jalvarez I should also mention that every git commit potentially has an email address on it. My git config has a different forwarding alias for every repo which I only exposed through git pushes. One of those unique addresses is now getting spam. I'm guessing the attacker simply did a "git clone" to get the address.
