It seems that disroot.org is trying to entice gmail users over?  
However, it seems to be a flawed implementation. Disroot is  
intended for encrypted private comms. But adding a +delimeter  
breaks the encryption systems that people might have for the  
non-delimited version of an email address.

Personally, I never really used the + feature.  Thunderbird  
doesn't support it on the outbound, so telling people to use  
first.last+somethinghere@gmail.com won't work for everyone.   
Only people within the same gmail-sphere might benefit.
