Discussion Ethically Online

lol, one of the email places I actually did get, Informaniak, which prides itself on being the "ethical web", their words are now saying anyone wanting privacy are criminals. Enshittyfication comes for everyone it seems.

I'm in the process of creating email on my domain, I'm trying to create one email for each use case.

Like I want something that is tied to funding like Patreon and such, business, social media and even a fully private one. I dont just want to make a "business@lepertti.com" since that would be little boring.

But I have no idea what to actually call them lol, I keep making emails and deleting them since they dont feel right.

I think most of them can be boring, especially if you're only using them to register for things and not sharing them with the public. You could even just make them a random string so you're not attached to the address if they sell your data to someone and the email is forever tainted by spam bots.

Public-facing ones can be a bit more exciting, like letstalk@lepertti.com

Late to the party as I've not been visiting these parts regularly but what a fantastic thread and so much useful info :blobcheer:
Definitely worrying news about Switzerland as I've been slowly migrating my stuff from Googoo to Proton.
Installed Zen to check it out because it's so pretty lashman :smiling-face-with-heart-shaped-eyes:

Still wondering what search engine to use, DuckDuckGo used to be pretty bad for me last time, Kagi is paid so I installed the free version to check it out but I already see they also have a bunch of ai stuff included ("use AI to filter out AI images" XD). Has anyone tried Brave Search? I know Brave come with their own baggage but maybe it's at least good.
 
Yeah coming up with anything public facing is tough, I still haven't picked a domain. :grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes:
Hell, my username I just randomly picked from a huge physical dictionary. Just flipped to a random page and pointed at a word. Actually technically I picked two words at the time (Major Parsnip) but eventually dropped the Major part partially because people kept shortening it to Major instead of Parsnip, and I didn't like that.

For most of my current emails that are not really public facing I've actually been using bitwarden passphrase generator, it just gives me 5 words and I keep generating until I see a "good" word pair that's not annoying to write.

I use Startpage for search.
 
I went with very French names that doesn’t make much sense lol, for example for business emails I will use laboulangerie @ lepertti.com . There is a theme to all emails and it makes sense in my mind at least.XD
