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 answer is have two domains one for things you want to identify yourself as and one you don’t they can go to the same mailboxes even just make the catch all and domain alias for both. If email provider is trusted then your config is not shown to the outside the provider.

      if you systematically use one domain for anonymous things, you will tie all those anonymous actions to that domain and effectively dox yourself.

      If you want to be anonymous you don’t want any pattern to be predictable across identities.
