Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Proton better not go downhill I can't be changing addresses willy nilly.

If you're willing, I strongly recommend people get their own domains. That way, you'll always be able to change email providers without changing your address.

Setting up email and actually getting into people's mailbox isn't trivial.

If you self host? Absolutely. That's a nightmare. Paying a provider (like proton, for instance) to manage your custom domain email is easy. I haven't run into any issues having my email accepted, even by hotmail addresses.

You might run into issues with some newer TLDs, but that is slowly being fixed. Also .xyz domains get sent to spam a lot because they're usually used for malware.
