I do put "my email" in geminispace and on the open web and make no effort to obfuscate it.
Why did I use quotes above? I have a lot of email addresses: definitely dozens, and probably over a hundred.
In my view, the trick to being fearless with your email address is being able to sunset it with no impact or little impact.
So: a unique email address for almost every different use, and certainly for every service signup.
If web01@sarnart.dev (my posted email on smol.pub and my website) gets compromised, starts receiving spam, or stops serving my needs in any way, that email address will quickly get retired and replaced.
The right tools make this manageable. In my case, I use an email service that supports unlimited email aliases.
A few popular options:
https://duckduckgo.com/email (free)
https://proton.me/mail/pricing (paid, plus or unlimited plans, I use this)
https://posteo.de/en/site/features (paid, cheap)
https://www.fastmail.com/features/masked-email (paid, I use this)
Hope that helps!

NB: even with the above care taken, I've yet to get any spam from posting this email address, so that's a win and a nice feather in the cap of the smol web.
