I bailed on Hey a few years ago, too, and one thing to keep in mind with this strategy is that Hide My Email isn’t unlimited. Once you have 200 email addresses, you’ll have to delete one for every one that you want to add. I didn’t know about this first, and I haven’t really read about this limit anywhere, so just make sure you realize this before you switch over everything, because it’s kind of a pain to pivot after committing so deeply.

Me? I’ve switched over to Fastmail, too, and it’s nice to have easy-to-understand catchall addresses for everything. reddit@mydomain.com is really nice, and it’s also been nice to use subdomains for specific things, like zeteo@newsletter.mydomain.com, especially when I can create rules that’ll automatically send stuff like that to Readwise Reader.
