Create your account through old.reddit.com; when it asks you for an email, simply press "next". And, if you need an e-mail provider for some other reason, protonmail.com doesn't ask you for your phone number.
That said do you really need a reddit account?
They've recently restricted even viewing if you're using a VPN and not logged in to Reddit. I've clicked a couple search results and gotten an annoying message. It's frustrating that people used Reddit forever helping each other and they are slowly creating walls to access for monetization
My guy, reddit doesn't even care if your email is valid. Just use some keyboard spam like aocjd@sjd.aa, it will accept it
Its been a few years since I checked, but Reddit traditionally has not required an email. You can just leave the field blank and click next and it'll let you create an account anyway. The UX is a dark pattern.
Last I heard, the rules were more strict on the redesign -- but old Reddit still let you sign up without email
That changed some time ago. Around the death of i.reddit iirc
Doesn't Firefox now include an email spoofer by default?
It keeps popping up to ask me on singup screens, and the one time I tried it seems to just provide a valid email and a forwarding service for TFA. I don't know if it'll work with Reddit or how effective the service is, though.
Try Firefox relay. It can set you up with a randomly generated email address that will forward to your regular email.
tutanota didn't require a phone number, last I checked
I have heard of proton mail but haven't tried it
I love it so much. My inbox has been entirely free of spam, and I love the simple design.
Skiff is another good option.
Mailbox.org ?
Just use mailinator or any of it's alt websites. Sure, it's not like it's secure or anything because it's a public inbox, but I always end up making a zillion different accounts anyway.
I use m.kuku.lu, ~~but if you plan to have more permanent account on there, like me, there's one problem it has. It NEVER invalidates old cookie tokens, even after a password change. This means if you get compromised or forget to logout on someone else's computer, there's nothing you can do about it.~~
Edit: Forget it, they recently added "Log out on all devices" button.
Edit 2: At the bottom of https://aquapal.net/ it also says they use solar power, if you care about that.
The last time I used the registry process, Outlook didn't.
