New Internet 101: The Infinite Email Address Trick

Good net usage includes using two email addresses for various reasons, including misdirection (for example, maybe you want to use a social media network, but you don’t want to be search by your email address in the most foolproof way possible). However, Gmail allows you to have one email address that you can use to create on the fly more email addresses. It’s a trick that’s been in Gmail for a long time and you probably never used it!

Here are two ways to do it using gmail. 

Using periods. For example... let’s say your email is [email protected]. You can use [email protected]. Gmail will still redirect it to you. 

the + method. Same example - [email protected]. You can use [email protected] when you sign up for newsletters. 

Gmail & Outlook can do this this on the fly without any pre-setup. 

So, if think you need a brand new internet address when you sign up for stuff, just use an alias instead. It’ll make things easier.

I know this sounds weird but

Is there like any guide on how to be social on the internet? Say an alien arrives out of space one day and wants to get involved with internet communities. What do you tell them?

I think what I'm looking for is an guide on what spaces there are to be social online. I know that Discord is a thing but if you don't have any friends where do you even start?

This isn't just a me thing is it? Because I feel like I missed so much of internet culture growing up due to me basically feeling like I had to hide from the world and didn't learn about all this stuff.
