告诉HN:Mindie.dev正在从个人资料中抓取电子邮件以发送垃圾邮件。
收到以下来自 hello@mindie.dev 的邮件:

嘿,Stackghost —
看到你在 HN 上关于自由职业时间追踪/开票的评论。TimeChat 是一个 Telegram 机器人:工作结束后输入“1.5 acme bug fix”,到月底它会自动为你的客户生成 PDF 发票。与 Toggl 的对比:mindie.dev/vs/toggl。
为了 HN 的读者,我正在进行 EARLY10 活动:$1/月(原价 $7)。一键结账:timechat pro 2 个月试用。
如果这对你有用,我非常希望能听到你的反馈。免费套餐支持个人测试,如果你想从这里开始: https://timechat.mindie.dev
不相关?回复 STOP,我将不再发送邮件。

我回顾了我的评论历史,除了去年提到过一次发票外,我并不认为我在评论中提到过自由职业、时间追踪或开票。
因此,mindie.dev 似乎是在从个人资料中抓取邮件,并虚构相关理由来试图推动他们的销售渠道。
尝试通过他们的“回复 STOP,我将不再发送邮件”来取消订阅,结果邮件被退回。
我觉得这种行为极其卑鄙和不诚实。我喜欢人们在个人资料中公开邮箱所带来的社区感,但似乎这个禁忌已经被打破。我将从我的个人资料中删除我的邮箱,并建议你也这样做。

Got the following from hello@mindie.dev<p>----<p>Hey Stackghost —<p>Saw your HN comment about freelance time tracking / invoicing. TimeChat is a Telegram bot: type "1.5 acme bug fix" after work, end of month it auto-generates the PDF invoice for your client. Side-by-side vs Toggl: mindie.dev/vs/toggl.<p>For HN readers I'm running EARLY10: $1/mo (was $7). One-click checkout: timechat pro 2-mo trial<p>If it's useful, I'd love your feedback. Free tier covers solo testing if you want to start there: https://timechat.mindie.dev<p>Not relevant? Reply STOP and I'll never email again.<p>— the Mindie team
mindie.dev<p>----<p>I went back through my comment history and I don't believe that I have ever mentioned freelancing, time tracking, or invoicing in a comment except once when I mentioned an invoice peripherally a year ago.<p>Thus, mindie.dev is scraping emails from profiles and hallucinating relevant reasons to try to grease their sales funnel.<p>Attempting to unsubscribe via their "reply stop and I'll never email again" resulted in a bounced email.<p>I find this behavior to be ultra scummy and dishonest. I enjoy the communal feel from people having open emails on their profiles but it seems the taboo has been broken. I will be removing my email from my profile and suggest you do the same.
