I've deleted my Facebook account. I was making it seem a lot worse than it was. It's more peaceful having it gone.
I just don’t use it, I turned off the email address and I haven’t installed the apps anywhere. I actually don’t know that I have the email address anymore, I was using Apple’s hide my email thing but than the boycott started and I started cutting back services. I went to the max with email though, got myself a domain and a service provider that could host unlimited emails and started changing my email on every thing so now I get next to no spam.
If I do get spam I decide if I really need the account and if it is a yes I create a new address and close the old one. Because I like seeing what else I can do, today I found out my vaultwarden has a leak/pwnd detector.
The amount of compliments I get for deleting Facebook. It's like everyone applauds me.
For email, I had to go with a free provider because I don't want to be in a situation where I don't want to pay for a domain, and then lose my email in the process.
There is no such thing as free email, either you are the purchaser or you are the product! If you are the product bots are looking through your mail to send you and the sender ads. I am looking into self hosting my domain and email so that I am not relying on a third party to host it, but I do see your point about not wanting to loss an address.
I'm not so sure with TutaMail, ProtonMail, or other privacy or non-American are privacy invasive. The trade off from what I understanding is that get you less free space.
Did not know that they had free options. I have more than 200 email addresses that forward to 6 primary email addresses.
