Replying to @ZachWeinersmith@mastodon.social
@ZachWeinersmith I'm thinking that the ongoing flood of spurious bug reports will make it harder on the developers. Attackers only need find one that works, defenders have to shield against more possibilities. That said, attackers may also have to evaluate that same large number of possible attack vectors so it may come out a wash. It's probably easier to fix a bug than to exploit it.

Replying to @ericphelps@mastodon.social
@ericphelps@mastodon.social That is a delightfully over-engineered solution and it definitely works well. Tagged addresses are going to be inferior but much simpler. Also spammers would be looking for tagged addresses. As to how, just add +string to the username of a Gmail address. It'll go to your main box. Easy to filter if needed. Many email servers support that syntax. Others like qmail use -string.

@skr @paulg I disagree. Humans should be choosing what becomes popular. Any ranking should be intimately linked to positive factors, not 'engagement'. As soon as an algorithm tries to decide what I'll like, it influences me according to somebody else's agenda.
