If using custom domain e-mails, to prevent spam, is it necessary to make addresses unpredictable (e.g.: stem-chaos-stricken@domain), or is servicename@domain good enough? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Assuming a password manager is used, even jfav0ohjau4gvncgan19@domain should be OK.

On the other hand, I might just be overthinking it. It could even look suspicious to customer support, or is that again just overthinking?

Also, there already will necessarily be some predictable ones, such as work@domain, although servicename@domain would provide even more possible matches.

The reason to use fromamazon@mydomain.com is that I can remember it and I don't need to use a password manager because I apply a mental cypher to the company name for the password too.
