Oh you thought I was talking about Mastodon? No, I was talking about email.
@joelle I used to self-host, but after I moved all my stuff on-prem in my home I had to stop, delivery didn't work properly thanks to a consumer IP/rDNS and stuff. So these days I'm on Migadu.
Really considering going back to self-hosting it one day, because trusting /anyone/ with my E-mail always feels bad

I never got up the gumption to figure out self hosting after reading this depressing piece... https://cfenollosa.com/blog/after-self-hosting-my-email-for-twenty-three-years-i-have-thrown-in-the-towel-the-oligopoly-has-won.html
@worldsendless @joelle The last saving grace is that medium-sized E-mail hosts (Like Migadu) are still usually on whatever hidden whitelist they use, so you don't have to pay big tech yet.
But every single day we are moving closer and closer to Google and Microsoft becoming the sole owners of E-mail

I used to be on OpenSMTPD, but setting that up "perfectly" with dkimproxy and all was a pain. So towards the end I ran Mailcow instead. Which is a pile of Docker containers (A thing I also hate, but I'd consider it a lesser evil in this case)
Even then, Gmail users would get my mails delivered straight to their junk folder like 50% of the time.
