After the Proton CEO twitter scandal, I’m thinking of getting a domain that I own. But problem is, all my email address would be @mydomainname.com instead of @protonmail which millions of people use. Isn’t that just linking all your account together. Even if you create a separate email address for every account, they all still identify to your domain and the surveillance corporations can link your accounts together to your identity. So I’m not sure about having own domain name…

🤔

And its hard to even pick a name that sound good when you say it like Pro-ton-mail is easy to pronounce, I can’t think of some good domain name like that to choose.

    The real issue is that you need to be fastidious about security, because your servers are exposed to the broader Internet and there are a lot of bad actors. You not only have to make sure your server doesn’t get hacked, but you also need to make sure the mail server application can’t act like an open relay. Spammers use misconfigured mail servers all the time to send tons of spam messages using someone else’s bandwidth.

    I’m planning on just using a encrypted mail provider and just using the custom domain, so I don’t have to actually manage the email myself.
