Went to a dentist. My wallet hurts now.

I use one of the "new" gtld domains for email. It works and I pay for a provider to do all the heavy lifting like your case, but you would have to configure DMARC, DKIM and SPF for your own domain. The big problem isn't the technical part. It's the clueless people who can't imagine anyone not having a gmail address (the "why can't you just have a normal gmail like everyone else" crowd). Some retail and government sites also flat out refuse email addresses that don't end in traditional tlds (.com, .net, etc) or the country-specific tld. In the end, I ended up creating a gmail address for those morons which redirects to my inbox after months of struggling.
It's the same with linux distros. One of the instances could get a critical mass of newbies but we will still have die-hards trying to gatekeep the entire fediverse.
I'm not even American and we have to endure the cheetos edgelord in office from our 3rd world shithole since US domestic and foreign policy affects everyone worldwide. I'm so sorry for my American buddies who will be hit first.
Even Digg. I still remember the complaints about mrbabyman.
I admire your ability for self reflection and openmindedness, brother. Cheers.
I wanna see the Karens losing their mind because the AI teacher dared to mention evolution.
Better start doing it now.
Tried that with my friends. They simply rolled their eyes and laughed.
Don't corpo accounts leave logs for auditing though? I wouldn't like HR going over my personal notes I (accidentally) shared there.
How do we know that instance will stay afloat though? I see search engines indexing Lemmy already, but they're all scattered with whatever instance they happened to get in touch with.
Damn, I can't believe how toxic some people can be. I hope you find a safe spot asap, OP.
