Github dislikes email "aliases" so much that they will shadow ban your otherwise normal activities for months, and once flagged, support will request not only a "valid" email domain but also that you remove the "alias" email from the account completely.

I had the same issue with my Anonaddy alias, I just made an alias using my domain name and works fine now. It's unfortunate that so many project are on shithub.

Fuck Microsoft for buying GitHub. As expected they have made good into garbage.

GitHub was proprietary, venture-capital, Ruby sludge before Microsoft. They’d either way aim to be bought or be the next Microsoft.

Yeah all the email addresses on my domain name are just aliases. Dont tell github

I gave them an generic "alias" through a more mainstream service than silomails, we'll see if that pacifies them.
