Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

how do I get it without giving away my email address to some random website?
You should be using an email forwarding/alias service such as SimpleLogin, or apples proprietary hide my email service for example. You can have an infinite amount of alias emails that all forward to your main, and have 100% control over.
The other option is older school, just make another account somewhere. You can also create automated rules to just forward all emails from their to your main too.
sure, but people could also host their freeware in a way that doesn't require me to do any of those.
I agree, but your question wasn't phrased that way :p
*sigh* because sometimes instead of telling someone "it sucks that in order to get that one piece of software from your website you make me create an account despite me never going to visit it again", you can phrase it a bit more politely and hope that they, you know, figure out the intent behind the question rather than take it so incredibly literally.
I'd open source it if I could, but since Reddit Account Manager is built without code, I can't host it on GitLab or GitHub.
You could use a service like SimpleLogin, Addy, Duck, or just a temporary fake email generator. I don't mind if you give me a fake email address—you have a right to privacy.
If it helps, my website's hiram.io. I realize that's still "random" in the grand scheme of things, but it should at least show you I'm a real person, and I build stuff to build a better web.
