From its start, Gmail conditioned us to trade privacy for free services

If Gmail proved anything, it was that people would, for the most part, accept any terms of service. Or at least not care enough to read the fine-print closely.

    Chiming in to say that hosting your own email server is a nightmare, please just find a service and pay them.

      I heard that. Its why I asked. Self hosting is no problem for me, more like finding good alternatives in this case. Have you tried it?

    I use both protonmail and tutanota atm. Had good experiences so far tbh! But for those I know that are truly dedicated to the foss lifestyle, most I know either self host their email service or use something like posteo/distroot. Some I know use riseup as well but I think it’s propertiary I think but have a huge emphasis on privacy though and being very anti corporate.
