    Everyone should own their own domain and have ownership of their digital life. If you don’t, then you are borrowing something that can be taken from you easily.

    No one can take my email from me. Even if the current provider goes out of business, I can always point it elsewhere.

      Holy shit, that’s a pretentious way to say you think you’re hot shit while showing you’ve barely got a chin above script kiddie.

      Where the fuck are you gonna cram billions of new DNS records? You trying to nuke the whole system?

      Billions of new IP addresses? From where, your ass? IPv4’s fucking dead and IPv6 is crawling.

      You want billions of shitty home servers? Why not just hand cybercriminals the keys to everyone’s data?

      No big email providers for spam filtering? Hope you like dick pills and Nigerian princes.

      Home servers for email? Great plan. Who needs reliability when the power goes out or your shit internet drops?

      You think everyone can afford this? Some people can barely pay rent, let alone run a fucking server.

      “Private” home servers? Please. They’d fold faster than a house of cards in a hurricane up against any direct persistent attack from any capable threat actors.

      Try running a big mailing list on your puny home setup. Watch that shit crash and burn.

      Good luck explaining to the feds why you can’t cough up subpoenaed emails.

      You really think billions of clueless users can handle this? It’s like giving toddlers chainsaws.

      Everyone run their own email on locally hosted domains…? Jesus fucking Christ. What are you, 14?

      Edit: lemy.lol has MX records that point to icloud.

      This toolbag indeed uses someone else’s services for their email exchange.
