This repository contains a comprehensive list of 117.981 free and disposable email providers
ProtonMail.com is a free email provider. Why would it not be on a list that contains free email providers? Gmail.com and Outlook.com are also on here, because they are also free email providers.
I love how the GitHub issue asking for ProtonMail’s domains to be removed is entirely about how Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, and Yahoo provide anonymous emails too and shouldn’t they be on the list if ProtonMail is… and they are. Someone is just checking lists for ProtonMail’s domains and not actually modifying their copypaste issue or doing any kind of research into the list/repo they’re posting to.
omg virus!!!
Obviously, ProtonMail shouldn’t be on here, but is this a list anyone even uses?
Looks like it has 2 stars… So I’m going to say no
(Just from preview, didn’t follow link)
It’s a list of places you can get free, disposable email addresses. Protonmail fits here. Now, why anybody would use this list for mail filtering is a whole different question. They’d be blocking some huge email providers.
Isn’t every email address disposable?
Yes, but some are more difficult to get. Personal domains cost money. Edu, gov, and most business emails are harder to get.
Quite a few companies block free email addresses from filling out forms due to abuse. Happens all the time.
I don’t think every list of disposable email providers that incorrectly includes ProtonMail deserves a post to !technology@lemmy.world. Lists that are widely used deserve that kind of attention, but this has two stars on Github.
As BombOmOm points out, this list includes free email providers and the inclusion of ProtonMail is correct.
It includes gmail?
Added a thumbs up. Hope it helps.
Protomail and simplelogions ate on an exclude list of freelancer.com. Can’t register on it

You need to take it up with the owner of the repository if you have a beef with it, but I see no reason why it shouldn’t be on the list.
