Gregory's Server
@Grath @gamingonlinux “most other instances” is a stretch if you are referring to Gmail. You can go sign up with practically any email provider or host your own and interact just fine with Gmail. Email loses value when you can’t interact with others—the same is true of social media.

 @cassidy @Grath @gamingonlinux Hosting your own email service is a pain in the butt. At the same time that setting up the software got way easier, it got so much harder to get your email delivered to every mailbox. There is a number of services that have whitelist only services. And even if they are not whitelist only, you have to build reputation and pray that the IP of your server was never used for spam. Be prepared that your emails will just land in the spam folder. Email hosting is pain. |
@cassidy @gamingonlinux My understanding is that there are non-negligible problems with gmail deciding that self-hosted/smaller-provider email services are spam, cutting them off from interacting with a large portion of email users. (But the 😜 is also meant to indicate that I'm exaggerating slightly for comedic effect.)
