My email is public on my GitHub profile (it's the same as my git author email, which is also public) for the last few years, and I don't have a huge problem with spam. I get a couple emails occasionally (a few every month), and they're easy to say "no thanks" to.
What made the most positive difference was deleting my LinkedIn account, I was getting way more spam there (via its own messaging system, not via email) that was very unpleasant.
- alexandrerond 10y agoWell I'm puzzled because my email is not public on my Github profile and I don't recall it ever was :S
- Eun 10y agoMaybe your profile is private, your commits aren't. Your email in the commits can be scanned easy as well.
- alexandrerond 10y agoI thought so, but then they would have other emails too, and I don't see why they'd tag it as "primary" if they'd gone those lengths..
