Best practices for hide-my-email aliases and private contacts

[Targa]

I'm using protons hide-my-email feature for all my accounts now and I love the idea of my main email never being breached and thus not receiving spam. Now I actually don't want to share an alias with friends, family and professional contacts since the addresses aren't the most legible and I don't like the 'message' that it sends, as if I don't trust them. However, if any of them ever get hacked, of course my real email address gets compromised too...

Do any of you think about it the same way? Any thoughts or solutions that worked for you?

Cheers!

Email Alias Systems are cool, since I own a handful of domains and my own Mail server, I have rerouted on of them to be a catch-all email, which means anything in front of the @ gets rerouted to my Personal Mail, unless I disable that particular Alias. This allows me to give a Human a legible Email like coolguy@mydomain.tld to allow them to reach me while still keeping my Main email secure. Which is really cool.

I don't know if this exists for all Proton plans, but at least for unlimited you can make other aliases to be whatever you want [at] proton [dot] me or what have you. It's a different feature to SimpleLogin which will give you a random looking address because that service is meant for signing up for accounts.
