"textContent": "Sure. But only on a need to basis. The economy is not there for me to throw token gestures, also I have the privilege of not having a severe threat model so I get by with most free offerings.

But free options are very limiting.\n\n\n\nThat’s it, aliases and email, among other things I manage within free tiers.",
