    I own the domain for my last name (firstname@lastname.countrycode) and get people all the time insisting it can’t be my real email. I also own a short domain based on my last name (like last.nm) which is very useful and techy people think it’s pretty cool.

      That’s neat. I had my email on a .social domain and many websites would say it was not a valid address. Now I’m back to my firstlast@gmail.com, fuck everyone.

      May I ask, where do you come from? I use firstname@lastname.dev domain, and even elderly people never question it. When I bought it, I was considering .pl (my country’s TLD), because I thought that people would be suspicious of the .dev, but suprisingly they aren’t.

      I own the domain firstname.countrycode so my email address is email@firstname.countrycode, haven’t really had many people comment on it though. the previous owner didn’t do anything with it and I thought about buying it from him, but a few years ago he forgot to renew it so I snatched it up
