Switched my email and XMPP to disroot, let's see how it goes. I know they're a little overtly political which I'm not a fan of, but if the service is good I don't really concern myself with all that.

Email (and phone numbers) are just a Schelling point for me, a backup communication method because I know everyone has them. So I don't like to self host in case of failure, or pick something that is unreliable. I used cock.li (not overtly political, very trolly and some people seem to have a problem with that, but again, I don't concern myself with those things) and it was just too unreliable. I'd hit email quotas when using it for deltachat, the XMPP server would go down sporadically for a while for no reason, I'd happily pay for those two problems to go away.

All the other email services of this kind, paid or not, that I found appeared to have abandoned XMPP support, which is a no go for me. I could make do with two separate addresses, but having one is just simpler. So I guess, for now, disroot it is.

email, deltachat and XMPP: mister_monster@disroot.org if anyone wants to contact me, XMPP preferred of course.
