I'm looking for email providers that don't require a phone number to use with reddit (linux.community)

I'm not ready to drop reddit entirely and to create accounts there I need an email address. I don't want to disclose my phone number or any other personal information.

I tried i2p, but for whatever reason, mail from reddit doesn't get its way to the inbox.

What other providers could I use?

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
