By reading about the new inclementations on Google I decided to leave from Google services entirely, already stoping using Windows for 6 month and Chrome, but sttil dont sure about a gmail(Some important things are signed in gmail accont) and some services like Youtube and some android telemetry(already rooted)
For email, I recommend purchasing your own domain name and finding a provider that allows the use own your own domain (like Proton or Tutanota). A catch-all function is also good for making unique addresses per service, so you’re mostly protected from data leaks and spam. Like lemmy@yourdomain.tld or clothingstore1@yourdomain.tld
Will make switching email providers much easier when you don’t have to update your address to tens or hundreds of services you’ve registered on.
Solid advice! And I’d also like to throw Fastmail as an email provider into the mix! I’m very happy with it and many other peeps I’ve heard from are happy as well. (I use it for mail, calendar and contacts.)
Good advice! I would argue the only downside is having to maintain your own email server. But that comes with the territory I guess. Any low-cost server hosting to consider?
You would not have to do that if you just use an email provider that allows custom domains. Probably will have to pay up though.
I’ve heard that self-hosting your own email server is almost always a bad idea as it can/will get blacklisted by sites.
You’ll still need email hosted by someone else, even if you are self hosting, in order to sign up to domain registrar etc.
It’s very poor idea to use the same domain for contact from a registrar.
