After 20-25 years, it’s more or less used for a spam pit and less important things now. No sense walking away from it when there’s no finances or other dangerous things attached
10 yo me on his way to include his day, month and year of birth in his reddit username that cannot be changed and to get enough karma on that account to not want to delete it.
And yet you ended up here
I’m glad I did!
Name and domain both deceased
and domain
Nope. mail.yahoo.com
At least you weren’t born in 1988.

Yes, Angelfire!! My first website was there. It was ✨ sparkly✨ and quite lovely. 😂 I only ever see people talk about Live Journal nowadays, which I think was after my time.
[email protected] checking in. Warez for life
Warez is pronounced like “where’s” right? My friend said it like Juarez, the place in Mexico, and I can’t help but hear it like that in my head.
Yup. Always said where’s
dwarfs?
Yes, “where’s”, as in cracked softwares.
I find it incredibly annoying that Google won’t let you merge or transfer purchases to a new account.

I like how this was your reminder. I mean, you just made a thread about this very topic…

The retro/TAS version is pretty remarkable. I made a comparison between them, and they match amazingly well:
Edit: the animation maybe doesn’t work?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
While it’s not quite the same, Google does allow you to stay signed into multiple accounts. Just click your profile photo in the upper-right and click “Add another account”. After signing into the other account, you can seamlessly switch between them. The same steps can also be used for any Google Android app.

I bet you have a very wholesome password
PW:
u#'o*zaQMyPC"fnw?Cu9OSrxYeEDCe6yXgzQYL4NxP?k%sx+'dBKfdru0CUmD&If the server won’t take a 64-char pw with letters, numbers, and symbols then is it even worth using?
I’m gonna use your password, but change one character so it’s mine.
Go for it!
I generated it in KeePass for this comment and actually interestingly it looks like Lemmy butchered/sanitized/modified it as well
Which character are you going to change?
all i see is *****************************************************************
EdgyEarly2000Song55
Nah it’s just coldplay.
IWantSomethingJustLikeThis2017!
Ohh man i hate that song
The instrumental version is
fantasticthere, though.Edit: I just listened to it again. Nah, I guess I was just in a mood when I first heard it.
My favourite song is “Yellow” and my surname is “Rain”… you can guess what my first email at age 10 was…
Okay I made that up, but I bet something like that has happened
same email for 20+ years, if i was starting over, i would choose something shorter and easier to spell
You missed your chance with your account here too
I made that mistake with my first vanity domain. It sucked having to spell it out every time lol
Oh god don’t remind me, I STILL have stuff tied to that email
Friend got locked out of Instagram account because yahoo deactivated their email. Instagram flagged the email as inactive. After my friend forgot their password, Instagram wouldn’t send pw reset emails even after reactivating the account. They also has no direct customer support whatsoever, so that account was lost.
More like 8 yr old lol
I got pretty lucky that 1) my usernames have all been pretty tame if a bit boring and 2) I never published anything horrible under my IRL name
I publish all of my horrible stuff online under your real name just to fuck with you
It was me Barry
Dick move other Barry
Bank: and your email is “TigOlBiddies69 @ email com?”
Me: “Yes is there a problem?”
When I was in college I got an early invite to Gmail, and did the fistname.lastname address.
All my day jobs have also had the same format, as does my university faculty ID (I teach night classes).
It’s kinda handy that you just use my (unique) name and the organization to get in touch with me.
Though it’s super annoying on my phone’s autocomplete since the screen above the keyboard shows “firstname.lastname@…” 3 times and I don’t know which is which.
I do find that interesting all your jobs use the same name format. My jobs have all had different formats lol
One was first initial last name, one was last name first initial (same as my school), my current one is just first name which is cool because if there are any other people who come here later I will be the original one lol, etc
Also my second job had four people with the same name as me, but one of them was much older and died while I was still working there, then I left a year later so then they were down to two. lol
I still keep my Hotmail/Yahoo/etc., but I’ve gotten my name as a domain and use that for professional communication.
It has catch-all support, so whether you send an email to [email protected] or “[email protected]”, I still receive it.
I do the same. And if someone abuses a particular alias I block it.
Wait, so you can just willy-nilly name emails for your domain for different online services and see who’s selling your data pretty easily then right?
I mean… who isn’t selling our data but still lol
Yes! I’ve literally found out about a data leak this way before it was announced publicly.
That’s neat
Exactly and then you can block that one addressband you dont get spam anymore. You can make the addresses up as you go btw, it will receive every email sent to your domain anywaya
That’s actually really cool! I’ve been actively degoogling this year but my email is one of the last holdouts so I’ll have to look into this
Another advantage of having your own domain for email is that you can just pack your shit and move to greener pastures when your current email provider turns to shit. No need to change your email everywhere.
I just set that up. Pretty useful
You guys are still using the same email?
Trying to get highscore on haveibeenpwned.com. 37 so far
I only got eleven, guess my password is alright?
I have 3 and I have used the same email and password for 23 years
What could you lose?
Everything
Thank goodness Gmail came out so I could get away from my Yahoo email.
you will be thanking protonmail, tutanota or posteo.de
My first Hotmail address was based off my football position and jersey number. During high school I changed positions and numbers along the way, making it obsolete like a year after creating it
Still useful for signing up to things I know are gonna spam me with bullshit though, the ad copy can join old MySpace reminders.
Ah, mister SafetySafety88 ?
