The purpose of these kinds of aliases is to disassociate the human’s email address from the service. Alias services like this aren’t designed to enable multiple signups for a single service. Otherwise it would quickly be a tool abused by spammers, blocked by services, and useless for people.
I completely agree and I would like to add one more thing. The way simple login responded to this issue was very nice. They could have been a whole lot more aggressive about this.
Or have a public social media account and a ‘business’ one I use to share my own music or something? My dual-boxing MMO accounts?
Wanna bet that you are already breaking TOS with both of these things? And I don’t mean SimpleLogins TOS, but the one of the social media platform and MMO. Most big platforms only allow one account per user, no matter how the account is used. Sometimes you can create a business account, but that’s still linked to your private one. Same goes for pretty much any online game, you are limited to one account per person.
I don’t think that there is any sense behind these limitations, but simplelogin isn’t concerned about that, they only care about the legality of your actions and limit their service accordingly.

Those are different websites though.

Lemmy does not offer any sort of SSO so I wouldn’t worry about it.
I don’t know what the limit is, but I have about 7 reddit accounts.

You won’t find any sense behind it except data harvesting. They want all your info in one place, that’s the end of the story.
