When I was a teenager it was announced that we would soon be able to stimulate the growth of brand new teeth, right in the mouth. I'm almost 50 and I need some new fuckin' teeth real soon.

What unexamined emotional need does that fill for you?

No, they moved to Discord because there was a for-profit corporation that was extremely motivated to move people to Discord. Mumble is better in every way that an anti-consumerist cares about.

Mumble is THE SHIT.

If the registration email is compromised, the attacker can reset the password. So the password doesn’t offer any additional security, in actual practice, over just testing control of the registration email address. If anything, passwords are less secure.

"ostensible" can only stretch so far...

Smearing authentication credential data out across the entire Internet makes a sloppy user safer because the inevitable breeches that come with being sloppy are contained, but it increases the demands on a safe user while also increasing their attack surface. Though such a user does typically have a single point of failure in the form of their own sloppy password management.

You can generate one-time-use email addresses by using the little-know mailbox field of the email address format:

kepix+you_can_write_anything_here_and_it_will_reach_your_inbox@gmail.com

Obviously this will not fool a human being into thinking you are a different person, but I have never encountered authentication code that treats two mailboxes at the same address to be the same person. This is useful for identifying the source of data breaches, when you start getting phishing attacks at your "kepix+reddit.com@gmail.com" address, and makes it trivial to train your spam/important filters.
