Aliases exit strategy

Can you have an exit strategy for aliases? By aliases I mean: Proton Pass / addy.io / duckduckgo email aliases / etc. (click for more details) My grievances with Proton > Beyond the complaint about lack of goodwill (free service) from Proton, OP exposes larger concerns. > > * What if Proton went out of business? > * What if the (alias) domains land on the “blocked” list so many companies no longer accept them? > > > Changing your primary email is bad enough: changing thousands of aliases adds an additional manual step to that process (1. finding the correct alias for the account 2. generating a new alias to replace it). Using your own domain is not a real solution because: My grievances with Proton > I am using my own domain, but OP correctly points out that you lose anonymity/privacy since all your email aliases can be tied to you in aggregate. Even if I used 10 domains it would still break anonymity. My grievances with Proton > I’d love to see a discussion about ways around the problem that maintain privacy and durable access independent of the control of others. So, does anyone have a solution for this?
