I use Fastmail's built-in Masked Email feature. Previously I've been using a custom .com domain with catch-all, but ended up regretting having to pay for yet another domain, since I'm already paying for a personal domain with my name/surname (which I use for communicating with actual humans). I know I'm losing address portability, but all things considered I'm happy with my decision[1].
How happy are you with the service that you use?
So far, I'm happy. I wish Fastmail's Masked Email feature was more prominent in their app, because I use that frequently. Instead, they buried it inside settings. A browser extension prompting me to use masked addresses would be awesome, but as of now nothing like that exists.
Is there something better?
As others have said, if you're already in the Apple ecosystem you would probably be better off with iCloud+'s Hide My Email.
[1] By the way, you can use Masked Email with a domain of your choice, instead of the usual fastmail.com.

This is what I'm thinking. Isn't every community bound to become another Reddit once it reaches a certain size? Sure, there are mechanisms in place to limit or promote certain behaviors, but I'm not convinced by the enthusiasm in the comments here. Since we're still relatively small, bad behavior or simply low effort content is manageable. Why do you think mods on reddit are forced to impose karma/age requirements? I don't want to sound like a troll, I enjoy being here more than being on Reddit of course; I'm just trying to be more realistic and less disillusioned.

Comment on Twitter starts to require login to view tweets in ~tech
nobody Link ParentIt happens automatically. The only way to work around that is asking support to unlock your account (maybe telling them you don't have a phone number).Also, the last time I registered a Twitter account (one for Tildes that I don't really use), it got blocked immediately as "suspicious" and wouldn't allow me to use the account until I gave them a phone number. I've seen many other people mention a similar thing happening to them.

It allows you to automate wallpaper switching in lots of ways. It's been a long time since I last used it though, so I'm not sure if it's still a valid option.

For the latter, I prefer to stick with more suitable means like RSS or mailing lists.
As a side note, I wish I could disable retweets, because they only add noise to the feed.
