E-mail is complicated, sure. But I’ve had it up to here with people who give up running their own server and then go on to vastly exaggerate how infeasible it is, in order to placate their own conscience. It’s not that they’ve gotten tired of doing it, oh no; (they say,) it’s entirely the fault of Google, Microsoft, etc. who’ve made it literally impossible to run your own e-mail server. Except it’s not impossible – lots of us do it, still. And now there’s one fewer of us, so the rest of us have to work that much harder when the next monopolizing standard comes along (BIMI, anyone?). Sure, you don’t owe us anything, but thanks for nothing when making these public rants; you are scaring away people who might still be inclined to help!
