Help me understand simplelogin and why so many recommend it. The tradeoffs don't make sense to me.
You are sending all plain text email transmissions in to a central company who then forwards them ...
If you are not self-hosting the simplelogin stack than you have to trust them just like with every email provider. It’s a downside of e-mail as a protocol, that it is not easy to self host and the provider gets your plain text mails.
If you can trust simplelogin than you gain a lot of advantages because you never have to give out your real email address.
If a burner address gets leaked you can simply disable it and know which site leaked it because you use a different address for every site.
Also you cannot be tracked across sites by your email address as a unique identifier.
