I’ve already noticed this with proton. They won’t allow your email to receive verification emails without first linking it to another backup email… so now I need to compromise the anonymity of my proton mail with a link to gmail or yahoo? That defeats the whole purpose. Same with signal linking to phone number (though I at least trust the encryption is good).

We need EVERYTHING to be permissionless systems.
