[email protected] : Why use catch-all email domains over email aliases? (lemmy.world)

I've been looking at using email aliases services, and right now I'm thinking of using Simplelogin for all my online accounts and accounts where I can change my email easily, and getting my own domain to share with people and where I can't easily update my email. It seems like I shouldn't use my own domain for online services because it would be unique and can be tracked.

I did lots of reading about this and am still wondering why someone would want to opt for catch-all domains over aliases. Catch-alls seem highly susceptible to spam and while I haven't actually done any email aliasing yet, it doesn't seem to take much effort to make a new alias if you have a plan with unlimited aliases.

Probably related to the low quality of your communications

I send the usual emails, family, images, files etc. Ive even checked with 3rd party email checkers
