“Killed my online life”
How dramatic. Get another account.
The problem is they lose their email address, which is tied to just about every digital account they have. Losing your email can royally fuck you. Many sites send an email to the old email of you try to change it, so you'll have to get in touch with support to get it changed, and then support will want proof it's your account somehow, and the whole process is gonna take days or weeks to fix all your accounts. God help you if you forgot any passwords because now you can't login or even reset the password since that goes through email.
Everyone should own their own domain and have ownership of their digital life. If you don’t, then you are borrowing something that can be taken from you easily.
No one can take my email from me. Even if the current provider goes out of business, I can always point it elsewhere.
Holy shit, that's a pretentious way to say you think you're hot shit while showing you've barely got a chin above script kiddie.
Where the fuck are you gonna cram billions of new DNS records? You trying to nuke the whole system?
Billions of new IP addresses? From where, your ass? IPv4's fucking dead and IPv6 is crawling.
You want billions of shitty home servers? Why not just hand cybercriminals the keys to everyone's data?
No big email providers for spam filtering? Hope you like dick pills and Nigerian princes.
Home servers for email? Great plan. Who needs reliability when the power goes out or your shit internet drops?
You think everyone can afford this? Some people can barely pay rent, let alone run a fucking server.
"Private" home servers? Please. They'd fold faster than a house of cards in a hurricane up against any direct persistent attack from any capable threat actors.
Try running a big mailing list on your puny home setup. Watch that shit crash and burn.
Good luck explaining to the feds why you can't cough up subpoenaed emails.
You really think billions of clueless users can handle this? It's like giving toddlers chainsaws.
Everyone run their own email on locally hosted domains...? Jesus fucking Christ. What are you, 14?
Edit: lemy.lol has MX records that point to icloud.
This toolbag indeed uses someone else's services for their email exchange.
Definitely not accessible for everyone, but I don’t think they’re insinuating that everyone needs to host their own server.
My brother has the one with the apple bundle that was super easy to set up bc it’s Apple, but he can still move the domain if needed.
I’m not reading that
Believe me, nobody thought you would.
Teenagers hate reading.
Edit: lemy.lol has MX records that point to icloud.
This toolbag indeed uses someone else's services for their email exchange. Tight.
I’m probably older than you.
🙄
Exactly.
Yes youve sure shown me.
Go ahead and be a predictable teenager and be completely incapable of not having the last word.
🤡
Sorry, but you are aware there's a TON of commercial services, starting from $1/month (or even less), that allow you to bring your own domain and host email, right?
Hell even my boomer interior designer mom was able to figure out how to buy a domain and set up email hosting on it, so it's not like this is some hyper-technical complicated thing that nobody could possibly figure out, because it's just tooo haaaard.
You don't actually NEED to run your own server for email to own your own domain, so your fit over script kiddies and billions of IPs or whatever is kinda uh, not how any of this needs to work for normal people.
You are referring to leasing a domain, not owning one.
This person is adamant about ownership.
What you are referring to is borrowing others services, which is what they are explicitly detesting as foolish.
It's pure naivete. Mom's basement shit.
