Setting up own email FQDN (and maybe service?)

after the latest round of reporting from 404 media on Andy Chen's very un-leader-like and hostile attitude, I would like to start exploring my options for a way to have an email service that is not to beholden to other services. my current mindset is: I have to either be OK with the fact that a service I use starts out with good aspirations but that can all change in the blink of an eye depending entirely upon the current moods of the C-level executives of the company OR I have to be OK with changing my email address every-time a service I use goes a bit nuts. In my view, this is unsustainable
