It’s all fun and games till google starts deleting gmail accounts. That is if the value of user data deflates and google’s ad-based business model fails. Which it may if some other party disrupts them. Seems likely as google lags behind in AI development. Though it may be for the best. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I’ve had my Gmail account account since it was still in beta. If my account gets deleted, it’ll hurt because that’s the address everyone knows me by. But I’ll just move over to Proton, just like I moved from Hotmail to Yahoo to Gmail. I think I’m just going to reserve an email address now to be safe.

If they do this I will be self hosting everything I need

Buy your own domain at like $12 a year and never worry about someone deleting your email address ever.
It may have been answered elsewhere already, but what a truly viable alternatives to the Google Monopoly and services?
