Fuck big email providers. All my homies use proton mail ๐Ÿ˜Ž

We always have to remember that e-mail is a decentralized protocol. If so many people use one e-mail provider then e-mail will be less of a decentralized protocol and can be monopolised. I will hate it.

Already is. I've even met a couple sites that only accepted GMail and Outlook addresses for sign-ups. And good luck making sure you don't end up in spam with something else.

Out of interest, how does the spam find a self hosted email? If i, for example, only submitted it one two sites where it was never leaked, and i never publicly posted it?

I mean that YOUR emails would possibly end up in spam of say GMail users.

Oh yeah. https://pluralistic.net/2021/10/10/dead-letters/

Especially funny considering little spam comes from self hosted email.

Or Tuta (formerly Tutanota) with my own domain. It's neither that hard to set up nor expensive.

[-] LifeLemons@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 days ago

Even proton has that feature for custom domain if paid for premium

First time heard of tutanota though
