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?
  
  Yes it does.
omg virus!!!!
- it isn't wrong tho
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?
  
  Quite a few companies block free email addresses from filling out forms due to abuse. Happens all the time.
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.
Protomail and simplelogions ate on an exclude list of freelancer.com. Can't register on it
This is the second thread I've seen like this recently. Proton made a properly labeled throwaway github user to open issues on every repo with anti-abuse lists that contained their domains a few weeks ago. Now different throwaway users are opening new issues for the repos that declined to remove them and then posting to social media trying to rile up an outrage mob to flood the issues. Seems super sketch. Yet another reason to stay away from everything proton.
Added a thumbs up. Hope it helps.
