Tangentially-related, I’m actually really excited to use Threads’s federation with Mastodon to bring interested friends and family over to Mastodon. If you get all the same benefits (connection, more people) with none of the ads or privacy downsides, then it seems like a no-brainer to join Mastodon over Threads.
But to answer the question, no. I run my own Mastodon (and Lemmy) server. I’m kind of all-in on the fediverse.
https://simplelogin.io/ - they’re now owned by Protonmail, I think, and the service is still great. I have hundreds of alias e-mails with them on a custom domain and they’re as permanent as you want them to be. You can also use their domains to be more anonymous if you want.
