Ah, ok; thanks for that clarification. Well, my direction is for the zoho paid plans. I've used GSuite for many years and can't complain for having used it for free for so long.

I'm moving over to Zoho. They have quite reasonably priced plans...and i think their free offering also allows custom domain, but not 100% sure. I myself will no longer use any free service like gmail, yahoo, etc. for anything as impor

You're correct that by itself distributed systems - like the fediverse - do not automatically prevent hacks/security events. Although diversity of nodes (and decentralization of nodes too) does help because if one node is struck,

You might be correct. I do not know the community in question nor the desire of the community leader here nor their background for interest in what i suggested. But i figured, i just provide a proposal, that's all. And, separately, whi

I do not use discord much at all. It isn't so much that the experience is bad or anything (although, yes, i'm not crazy about the centralized-centric approach of discord)...it is just that my communities don't live there. Sla

Sorry, i know I'm chiming in a few days later...but i thought about this myself. I started down the email route (and my email does not use free email service, but my own custom domain name to have maximum control). Then, i wondered ab

This is neat looking! I don't have loads of experience using markdown editors, but the 2 features which i think really attract me to wanting to use it are: 1. Exporting into soooo many formats (thanks to pandoc). 2. Importing into this

100% THIS! I believe (hope!) that as more people understand that the matrix protocol is *not only* a chat protocol, but far more than that, then we will see many more different ideas flourish. There are already ideas for leveraging matrix

Curiou, where did you end up migrating to? (I'm likely going to move to zoho...but am always interested to know other options.)

@pygy_ So, i just checked (because you got me curious too)...and the Zoho Mail Lite plan (I'm U.S. based, so i pay $1 USD per user per month) does indeed have the catchall feature available. But, please note, it is present within the
