You… you shut up. 🥲
Use your domain for your primary email address, have some regrets about it, but never be able to walk away…
That’s what I do. Anytime I need to sign up for something with an email I do:
I use wildcards for some stuff, but I mostly just use public@domain.com and have my real email for friends and family private. It’s not liked I get emails from friends and family anymore anyway. Everything is iMessage or SMS.

I’ll send you an email. $12
Same. Crazy obvious which companies are getting hacked or selling my info.
I do the same thing, but with gmail tags.
Now if I get a spam email to that address I’ll know exactly what to block.
I am amazed at how often that gets considered an invalid email.
Soooo. I’m dumb. I host my overseerr on my domain that just routes to my local IP for my local desktop. How do I get email on this domain without spending dumb money on an email hosting server?
On the flip side my husband has held on to the domain he got for 22 YEARS., and never did anything with it. We finally got our emails up and running with it last week. Don’t let your dreams be dreams!
Out of curiosity; who is providing the mail service? Or are you self-hosting? Trying to organise mine, hoping I can get it done maybe 19 years quicker.
I use Hover. They’re based in Canada and I’ve been using them for years for my business domain and email. Was an easy choice for personal too. Every time I’ve had to call the tech support they have fixed the problem super fast, did extra stuff, and were super lovely. $20 a year for a small mailbox each, which is more than enough for us.
I just set my domain email up with Zoho. Was easy enough and they have a free option. Although I pay $1.25/mo per user for two users, just to get a little extra storage space and be able to use SMTP and ActiveSync to send email from my servers for notifications and use a different mobile app than their default one.
You know what’s worse? Starting a successful one that makes a whole ass salary and then having google updates smack it the f out.
What happened?
I’m gonna guess search engine down ranking.
whole-ass milk
Whole ass-milk

I like to think that glass is half-ass full.
Nice work man. Fuck the internet and its dark ass wizards.
lol I’ve been squatting a couple of domains since 2001, my day will come!!!
Start selfhosting. I use my domain for tons of stuff
How much are you selling for?
Selling? I host things for myself, not others. Except my Lemmy instance I suppose, that’s public.
This is the way. I would be lost without a domain. Even mail is selfhosted with my domain. But I only use subdomains, the real domain is abandoned.
See email is one of the few things I don’t host. I host a webmail frontend, and use my domain. But PurelyMail is an amazing service that’s so cheap it’s basically free at personal scale with very few limits. I didn’t really care to try and deal with having all my mail sent to spam.
I just use stalwart - mail, it’s just one docker container, has bleeding edge functions like jmap and there is no need of deeper knowledge. I refer my domain on the settings and got a list of all needed dns-records.
It takes 2-4 days to get SSL and dmarc answers from the big mail-players and if there is nothing wrong with your IP or your records then there is no mail going into spam of someone else.
Been with purely mail for about a year and it’s been great!
More like “Dammit, my domain auto-remewed again. Oh well, it’s only $12. I’ll cancel next year.” (It’s been 5 years.)
Nooo, one day I’ll have the time to build my writing utensil repair business.
And then I’ll need the domain penisbroken.comDon’t worry, the dream lives on!
VancesCouchSloppySeconds.com is still available!!!
I’d be tempted to buy that. When you visit it’s just a white page with a leather couch in the middle of the screen, everytime you click the couch it would moan seductively and every fifth click would give a squelch sound.
Oh this one cuts.
Wanted to start a blog about my weight loss journey. Lost the weight and never started the blog. Still paying for the domain 7 years later.
Only thing left to do is gain the weight back so I can try again!
Do a retro! Lol
$12? I pay $20 for mine.
$20? I pay $30 for mine.
Wait you guys pay?
You guys have to pay? I get paid to register my domains.
Neither. If I’m not using the domain, I can pretend I still have it.
That’s not neither, it’s one of the options.
Which one?
The other one
And then it becomes a pornsite.
Mine is on automatic renewal.
To a debit card on an account I closed months ago
Check. Mate.
let the ghosts fight it out
Fate will take it from here lol
This is why I never bought a domain. Can’t give up on your dreams if you never pursued them in the first place!
