Stop SES from adding awstrack.me to MAL emails

I am writing this to express my strong frustration regarding the recent changes to your email system. I noticed that all links are now being rewritten and routed through Amazon SES tracking (awstrack).

As a long-time user, I find this practice highly intrusive and a direct violation of my expectation of privacy. I do not appreciate being tracked every time I click a notification from your platform. It feels unnecessary and makes the user experience feel like a data-harvesting operation rather than a community site.

I would like to know if there is a way to opt-out of this tracking entirely. If not, I urge you to reconsider this implementation and prioritize user privacy over engagement metrics.

Looking forward to a clear response on how you plan to address this.

Interesting, I usually visit MAL directly to see my notifications. I will keep on doing that even more from now on.

It’s time to ditch the text file.
