@alci@pouet.chapril.org @glyph@mastodon.social that is a neat feature but doesn't really have the same effect. The point is to poison the data source, to make the entire concept of using harvested contacts unappealing. This requires that the poisoned data actually be harmful, and that the rate of using such an option must be high enough that ingesting poison is a virtual certainty. To be harmful, the spam trap needs to negatively affect their email reputation. That's not something that you can really do as an individual. Normally this is larger mail operators, but a project like Graphene might be able to partner with one of those to make it happen. For the rate of use to be high enough to matter, I'm not sure even a rate of 100% among Graphene users would be enough. But it would be a good start!
